How to make this Strawberry Banana Chia Seed Smoothie! (Video)
While I LOVE smoothies, I tend to be pretttttty lazy when it comes to making breakfast. Well, any meal, for that matter. Not because I consider myself a lazy girl, but because I always feel like I’m super limited on time in the morning. And okkkkk, if we’re being completely honest, I don’t really like having to wash the blender all of the time. Does anyone else majorly consider how many dishes you’ll have to wash after making a recipe? It’s make it or break it for me!
Which is why I either make easy Granola & Yogurt Bowls, Overnight Oats, or TRIPLE smoothie recipes and just thaw before I devour them!
