Recipe: Chocolate Chia Milkshake

Adam Hodges | May 17, 2013

People seem to either love chia seeds or don’t. But if you’re a fan of chia, here’s another way to incorporate them into your pre- or post-workout fueling. This “milkshake” uses soy milk and gets its thickness from the gelatinous property of chia sees when allowed to soak in liquid. The drink is easy to make and works great for a quick pre-workout breakfast or to refuel post-workout. Of course, it makes a great snack, too!

Ingredients

Chia seeds

2 cups chocolate soy milk
2 tablespoons chia seeds

Instructions

Pour the soy milk into a half liter or 16-ounce bottle. Add the chia seeds. Put the lid on the bottle and shake vigorously. Refrigerate overnight. Shake well before serving.
