    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 tablespoon cocoa powder
    • 1 tablespoon 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".
