Healthy chia and banana smoothie recipe

Chia seeds contain high fiber content that can be added to water, sandwiches, or smoothies for extra health benefits. This high fiber content can help to lower high blood pressure and, in turn, reduce your risk of developing heart disease.

Pairing them with bananas provides a great source of fiber, potassium, vitamin B6, vitamin C, various antioxidants and phytonutrients.

Having this smoothie for breakfast will fill your tummy with goodness and provide a great boost after a workout.
