Blueberry Banana Chia Smoothie – Blueberry Banana Smoothie – Healthy Summer Drinks

We have very hot summers here! And I mean HOT!! This is the middle east and we can have as close to 40 C / 104 F at the peak of summer which is usually in August July.  But of course it’s summer and so the beaches and water parks are all still full of lots of ice creams, juices, and the likes flowing..

One of the biggest issues I use to have every summer is the kids don’t have much of an appetite. “Mama, give me juice or mama, give me Ice Creams or Popsicle”. While I know exactly how they feel I still want to make sure they get good nutrition so I make them these simple and easy drinks that are not just refreshing but also give them more than just cold liquid to cool off.

Let’s talk ingredients – Blueberry Banana Smoothie (Save/Pin)

  • Banana – I think this has to be the most popular fruit in the world and rightfully so. So nutritious, healthy and low in calories. It can add a nice creamy texture to smoothies and ice cream.
  • Blueberry – are loaded with antioxidant. They are high in fiber and low in fat which makes these a great guilt-free treat for summer drinks.
  • Coconut liquid – I love the flavor coconut adds to this smoothie. Alternatively, you can use Yogurt, Almond milk, or plain milk or even water.
  • Chia – In my previous post on Strawberry Banana Chia Smoothie I spoke so much about the health benefits of Chia; I hope you will read.  Now I’m just going to say.. they are good for you.
  • 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.

    This is absolutely delicious. I had never made blueberry in a smoothie until today and boy did I LOVE it. I love blueberry but mostly had it for breakfast and dessert. I saw this on your Facebook page and was so curious. Thanks Veena

    This smoothie sounds so refreshing! I should get onto the chia bandwagon – I’ve only tried it once at someone else’s place I think.

    This definitely sounds like the perfect treat on a 40 degree day! I don’t know how you can stand ssuch temps for months! I just spent 2 months backpacking around Philippines, Indonesia and Sri Lanka and I find the heat and humidity so exhausting! All I have the energy to do is drink smoothie all day!
