Blueberry Mango Chia Smoothies

These Blueberry Mango Chia Smoothies are the perfect way to cope during a hot summer day. Lots of frozen blueberries and mangos, combined with chia seeds, Greek yogurt, fresh lime juice, a banana, and a drizzle of honey – make these our go-to smoothie. Layering the colors might also impress fellow smoothie lovers!

Texas summers can be brutal. My guys work hard outside to get our yard looking good, and there are major amounts of sweating happening. So these smoothies were created on a recent steamy day when they were out mowing, trimming, and hedging. I’ve gotta say…they were very happy when I brought one outside for them as they finished up their work.

Ever since I made my Blackberry Peach Frozen Margaritas, I’ve been dreaming about a layered smoothie recipe. THIS was the result of those dreams.

• healthy –> fruit, chia seeds, Greek yogurt
• refreshing –> frozen and creamy – with a secret ingredient
• beautiful –> hello pretty layers…and you can SEE the chia seeds! 🙂

My guys surprised me with a Vitamix for Mother’s Day recently, and I’ve been a smoothie queen ever since. We also love drinking our smoothies out of glass straws (instead of the straws you see here). These are super fun!

Ingredients needed for Blueberry Mango Chia Smoothies:

• Frozen Fruit – For this recipe, you’ll need frozen blueberries and frozen mango.
• Banana – Just one banana for these smoothies.
• Greek Yogurt – I used one blueberry and one plain, but really, any flavors will work here.
• Chia Seeds – A known energy booster, chia seeds contain healthy omega-3 fatty acids, carbohydrates, protein, fiber, antioxidants, and calcium.
• Honey – This gives these a little sweetness.
• Lime – For some tartness, but you could leave it out if you don’t like the flavor.
• Milk – Needed to blend these into smoothies!

How to make Blueberry Mango Chia Smoothies:

1. Make the blueberry layer. Combine the blueberry frozen fruit, half a banana, some Greek yogurt, chia seeds, honey, lime juice, and milk. Blend well.
2. Add the first layer. Layer the blueberry mix in some mason jars or glasses so they are half full.
3. Make the mango layer. Combine the mango frozen fruit, half a banana, some Greek yogurt, chia seeds, honey, lime juice, and milk. Blend well.
4. Add the next layer. Add the mango mix on top of the blueberry layer.
5. Serve. Serve with some fresh blueberries and some straws. Enjoy!
