FAQ: your questions about the peachy green smoothie
What can you mix chia seeds with?
With just about anything liquid. In a smoothie like this one, they thicken within minutes. They also make a pudding with a plant milk — count three tablespoons for 250 ml — slip into a porridge, a compote or a cracker dough, or get sprinkled over a salad. Their flavour is neutral: it is the texture they bring.
What are the benefits of a spinach smoothie?
The main interest is very concrete: it is a simple way to add green vegetables to the day, for people who would not eat them otherwise. Raw spinach brings fibre and minerals, and its flavour fades behind a sweet fruit. A smoothie does not replace a plate of vegetables, it complements it — and it is better sipped slowly than downed in one go.
Why take chia seeds in the evening?
There is no better time, and nothing obliges you to take them in the evening. The habit comes mostly from chia pudding, which you prepare the night before for breakfast: the seeds need several hours to swell. In a smoothie they have only a few minutes. Serve it straight away if you prefer a fluid texture, or let it rest for ten minutes for a thicker result.
