A strawberry smoothie is probably the most popular basic smoothie around and for good reasons; one is that strawberries just taste good and another is strawberries mix well with a lot of other ingredients. For a good example of how flexible a strawberry smoothie really is consider this recipe that adds honeydew melons as well to create a low calorie smoothie mix that is just delicious.
The strawberries and Honeydew are rich with vitamins and nutrients and quite refreshing. By themselves, this makes a great smoothie, but–if you are looking for something more filling, you can add yogurt to the mix very easily. Either way, this recipe is bound to become one of your favorites.
Its also easy to turn this 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.

Tip: If the Honeydew or strawberries are not “ripe” enough, you might want to add a little more orange juice or even ice to achieve the consistency you prefer.
