This is a great smoothie to make before or after a nice run. It's packed with energy and antioxidants to keep you going. Acai is incredible for weight loss, but I like it for its superfruit capabilities. The addition of the chocolate is optional, but I came up with it after reading a blog on Runners' magazine that emphasized how it can help keep your energy level high during a big run. Chia and flax seeds are enormously beneficial for our bodies, and so this is one way I can very easily sneak them into my diet. The recipe can certainly be doubled, but it makes just one serving.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup acai juice
1/4 cup soy or almond milk
2 teaspoons agave nectar
1/2 cube of bakers chocolate
pinch of chia seed
1 Tablespoon flax seeds
8 oz soy yogurt
few cubes of ice
Directions:
Place cubes of ice in blender, and chop up. Add all ingredients on top of chopped ice and then blend until smooth. Enjoy!
