Low Calorie Smoothie Recipe: Orange and Vanilla

A refreshing low calorie smoothie delight full of Vitamin C is perfect for a morning snack.  Definitely a kid pleaser too! 

Its also easy to turn this low calorie smoothie treat into a nutrition powerhouse just by adding a tablespoon of Chia seed. Chia is a natural seed that adds a large measure of nutrition including heart healthy, cholesterol fighting omega 3 fatty acids and antioxidants. Even better, unlike Flax, Chia doesn’t have a taste of its own so adding it here won’t change the delicious results.

In your favorite blender mix the following ingredients to make two servings:

3 ounces  undiluted orange juice concentrate

1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract

1/2 cup of water

1/2 cup of skimmed milk

1 Tbsp. Chia seed

Ice to taste

Pour it all together in the blender and mix!  Pour in  a tall chilled glass and grab a straw… you will love it!
