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!

What’s in this Strawberry Banana Chia Seed Smoothie?
- Frozen Strawberries
- Fresh Banana (frozen is fine, too)
- Chia Seeds
- Milk Of Choice (almond milk is great, but regular milk is awesome for added protein if you’re not avoiding dairy!)
That’s it! So easy, y’all.
Why add chia seeds to this smoothie?
They’re are so great for you! Incorporating chia seeds not only adds a fun texture to the smoothie, but it also adds protein and healthy fats. I’m loading up on these beauties in this smoothie!
My second trimester self can definitely use all of the omega-3’s and healthy fats I can get right now!
Pro Tips for making this Strawberry Banana Chia Seed Smoothie:
- Prep the ingredients in smoothie freezer bags (or sandwich bags) for the week for healthy, quick breakfast smoothies!
- Use an amazing blender. I love my Ninja blender and have heard great things about the Nutribullet as well!
- Triple this recipe, make once in the blender, then freeze the leftovers in mason jars. Simply thaw when you’re ready to drink!

My kind of smoothie! Quick and simple.
Love this combo and the addition of chia seeds to keep you full and add a nutritional boost!
Such a great smoothie to start the day with! Love the flavor combination!
Yum, it’s the simple smoothies like this that I go back to over and over again.
Is it possible to do the day before and leave overnight? also is what substitute would you use for the milk almomd milk and greek yogurt?
Yes, you can freeze it that night and then run it under some warm water in the morning to thaw it out. If you have a dairy allergy, I would recommend trying the recipe with coconut milk and coconut yogurt (for added thickness). I hope you enjoy the recipe! 🙂
Do you soak your chia first?
Hi, Sherrie! No I do not. It wouldn’t hurt to soak them first, but I typically just throw them in the blender with the rest of the ingredients!
This smoothie looks so sweet, the colour is so inviting! Amazing flavour combination!
Thank you, Agness! It was delicious! 🙂
