How to Prepare:

1. Begin by washing the blueberries thoroughly. This step ensures that you’re not consuming any pesticides or unwanted residues.
2. In a blender, combine the blueberries, chia seeds, almond milk, Greek yogurt, banana, honey, and vanilla extract.
3. Blend on high speed until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. Remember, the consistency should be a tad thicker than a regular smoothie.
4. Once blended to perfection, pour the Blueberry and Chia Seed Smoothie mixture into two bowls.
5. Generously sprinkle granola over the smoothie base.

Tips:

1. Ensure your chia seeds have been stored in a cool, dry place to retain their nutrient content.
2. If you’re not a fan of honey, you can substitute with maple syrup or agave nectar.
3. You can freeze the blueberries ahead of time. This gives your Blueberry and Chia Seed Smoothie Bowl a more refreshing, chilled taste.
