Mocha Chia Somoothie - The perfect morning oomph!

I can't tell you how hard I searched for a Nutri Ninja this January! The Nutri Blender and the Nutri Ninja are the hottest new kitchen gadgets in town, and now that I got my hands on a Nutri Ninja, I can certainly see the hype. Easy to use, easy to clean, and unlimited possibilities for smoothies, salad dressings and dips to be created.

This is a super quick, fuss free recipe for a healthy chocolate smoothie, with a real caffeine hit, the perfect breakfast smoothie for coffee lovers who rush in the morning.  I don't believe in skipping breakfast, but I'll let it slide if you make yourself one of these bad boys to drink on your commute to work. I myself have this smoothie as a mid morning treat on the weekends.

Serves 2 

Ingredients

• 1 banana, chopped
• 1 shot of espresso (Mine is Nespresso) or 1 tbsp of instant espresso powder
• 1 tbsp of chai seeds

• 1 tsp of ground cinnamon
• 2 cups of almond milk
• 2-3 ice cubes

Method

1. Using either a juice blender or a hand held blender, blitz all the ingredients together in a suitable glass or jug.

It's that easy!
