This Banana Date Chia Smoothie is a perfect healthy breakfast or mid-afternoon snack!

These days, having a fast, gluten-free and yummy breakfast is the name of the game.

And this easy and gluten-free smoothie is easily made the night before and put in the fridge for the next day☀️

Don’t you love it when your breakfast is waiting for you in the fridge in the morning!?

With only 5 ingredients, I think you’re gonna love this easy and healthy Date Banana Chia Smoothie. Here’s what you need:

  • Medjool dates – 2
  • 1 Tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 Tbsp chia seeds
  • 2 cups almond/coconut milk – I like this blend but you can use any milk you like
  • 1 large frozen banana

How do you get the pits out of the dates?

All you have to do is spilt the date with a knife and then pluck it outta there:

Can you put chia seeds in a smoothie?!

Heck ya! With the chia seeds, you’re getting a little magnesium, fibre plus a hit of antioxidants. Healthy never tasted so good😋

How can I thicken this (or any) smoothie?

If you ever feel like a smoothie you make needs a little oomph, just add a couple ice cubes and it’ll give your smoothie a little more “body”.
