Oatmeal, chia seeds and almond milk form the base for this smoothie from Ashley at EdiblePerspective; the recipe is at the end. Chia seeds pack a punch of nutrient rich, energy boosting power; easy to digest when prepared properly, and are linked to healing diabetes! Oats provide protein and fiber. Add to that all the good things in cacao nibs and you will be laughing all the way to good health with this smoothie!

If cacao nibs are new to you, here’s what Ashley has this to say about them …

Cacao nibs are awesome, but if you throw a handful into your mouth you might be a little surprised. These are not chocolate chips. They are not sweetened at all. Cacao nibs are hulled + roasted chopped up cacao beans, which are actually seeds from the cacao fruit [a tropical plant]. These crunchy, chocolatey bits are super rich in antioxidants, vitamins, fiber, and loaded with minerals like magnesium and iron.
