Smoothies are a great way to get your produce and extra nutrition in the morning. The Frozen banana and and avocado in here are the secret weapons to achieve ice-cream-like creaminess, and knock down the salad-y flavor. Chia seeds amp up fiber and protein, plus they’re one of the richest plant sources of heart-healthy alpha-linoleic acid (an omega-3 fatty acid). So give it a try!
Place all ingredients in a blender; process until smooth.

1 medium-size frozen banana
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/2 cup plain 2% reduced-fat Greek yogurt
