Avocado & Chia Seed Shake
By Jamie Webber
If drinking the same juice over and over again is getting boring, try switching it up by adding even more nutrients to your glass. This morning I was in the mood for a filling breakfast. I had a leftover juice in the fridge from making a large batch yesterday so I decided to add in my favorite produce of all time, avocado, and one of my favorite superfoods, chia seeds!
The combination produced a rich, creamy shake that was filled with heaps of nutrients from my green juice, tons of healthy fats, protein and fiber. I had just finished running over the Brooklyn Bridge so it was the perfect drink to refuel my muscles.
The next time you have a leftover green juice in the fridge, try adding these to it for a full, well-balanced meal.
