Helpful Tips
For a thicker smoothie, you can use frozen banana slices. If you don’t have almond milk, feel free to substitute with any milk of your choice like soy milk, coconut milk, or regular dairy milk. If you prefer your smoothie a bit sweeter, adjust the honey or maple syrup to your taste.
Storage Instructions
If you have leftover smoothie, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Just give it a good shake before drinking, as the ingredients might settle.
Pairings
This Chia Seed Kiwi Smoothie pairs wonderfully with a light cucumber salad or a serving of whole grain toast with avocado. For a drink pairing, a cool glass of lemon water infused with mint leaves complements this smoothie perfectly.
