I noticed a bottled strawberry/lime/chia drink in the refrigerator section of Trader Joe’s recently, and thought I’d use the strawberry/chia combination in a smoothie. I added muesli for bulk and geranium syrup for flavor.

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    The night before, place the muesli in a small bowl or ramekin and cover with 3 tablespoons milk or water. Refrigerate overnight. Soak the chia seeds overnight as well.

  2. Step 2

    Scoop up a tablespoon of seeds with the gooey liquid and place in a blender (don’t worry, your smoothie won’t have this consistency). Add the remaining ingredients and blend for 1 full minute at high speed.

Tip
  • Advance preparation: The soaked muesli will keep in the refrigerator for 2 days. Serve the smoothie at once.

Where in the world do you find geranium syrup?

Seema

Cut up a bunch of over-ripe strawberries, added a dash of stevia, a glug of coconut milk, and dumped in the last of a bag of chia seeds, dry unsoaked. No measuring whatsoever, and it came out delicious. This is a very forgiving recipe.
