What on your breakfast table on summer weekends?
We’ve come to make it a habit to have some smoothies for breakfast over the weekends during summer. Well, with the summer weather we have – it’s gets really really hot!! So often the kids want nothing to do with food!! Mama make something to drink.
So smoothies and milkshakes are on the tab! I love this blend of berries – this week we had some fresh strawberries and I used a few frozen raspberries and mixed berries I had.. Yum! The fruits you use will determine the color of your smoothie.

This is so easy to make – and so simple, you going to love it.
- Fruit – I am using Banana and strawberry as my fruit combination but go ahead and substitute the combination you like
- Yogurt – I prefer to use low fat fruit yogurt. But there is enough fruit in there even if you use just plain yogurt. For a lighter version just replace the yogurt with milk
- Honey – Berries can be sweet but also tart. Sometimes a little honey can do the trick with sweetening such a drink.
- Ice – I do use ice but if I use frozen fruits I omit the ice so it’s not too Icy. It’s a personal choice here.
- Chia – in my previous post strawberry banana chia smoothie we spoke so much about chia seeds and the health benefits of chia.. I think it’s a great addition to any diet. Read more about chia seeds

I want to make this but I don’t need that much made. Will this keep good in fridge overnight?
Yes Becky. You can leave it in the fridge over night but it will get thicker as it sits ad the chia seeds will absorb all the juices and become full. The consistency may not be pouring.. probably thick so enjoyed with a spoon.
This was so delicious. I tried some of you drink recipes recently and love them. This one was my favorite. Thanks for sharing.
