Pineapple Lime Smoothie

This smoothie is refreshingly tart.   

Ingredients:
1 medium to large banana
1/2 fresh lime
1/4 to 1/2 cup chunk pineapple
1/2 to 3/4 cup Greek yogurt
1 tbsp ground flax seeds
1 tbsp ground chia seeds
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon 

Squeeze the juice from the 1/2 lime into the bottom of the blender. Slice the banana into the blender and add the pineapple. Blend until smooth.

Next add the yogurt, flax, chia, and cinnamon. Blend again until smooth.

Pour and enjoy.

I find that both flax and chia tend to settle to the bottom of the blender. By blending the fruit first, you create a thick base to support the flax and chia so that it mixes in rather than sinks during the second blending.

Lime adds a tartness to this smoothie and a good dose of fresh vitamin C! If you like your smoothies a bit sweeter, add half a scoop of vanilla protein powder.
