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

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".

I hope you love this Banana Date Chia Smoothie!
