Chia seed purée
Tip
To make your chia seed smoothie thicker, consider adding more Greek yoghurt or frozen banana. Alternatively, allow the chia seed purée to rest for a few extra minutes to get a creamier texture – it is all about finding the right balance.
Tip
Raspberries are a key flavour component in this chia seed smoothie, so make sure that you choose perfectly ripe ones. This ensures that the chia purée is rich in flavour, while the decorative berries on top are bursting with juiciness.

Make an easy chia smoothie
Only a few ingredients are needed to make our easy chia smoothie that is bound to receive a standing ovation from your taste buds. With the refreshing combination of Greek yoghurt, banana, and raspberries, it is perfect for an on-the-go breakfast or a quick flavour fix in the afternoon. When you add chia seeds to the mix, they give the smoothie a lovely, luscious consistency as the seeds soak up liquids. Blend the seeds with raspberries and swirl the purée into the smoothie mixture to give the drink a blast of flavours and beautiful colours all at once. It is the perfect choice for those who love bold flavours and want a quick treat.
Sweetness from banana and raspberries
Enjoy a burst of natural sweetness in your smoothie with banana and raspberries. Each sip offers a delightful balance of fruity deliciousness. The raspberries add a slight tartness, ensuring the smoothie is nuanced and not overly sweet. Meanwhile, the banana provides a deeper sweetness and lends a thick consistency to the smoothie, making it almost irresistible. Top it off with a few fresh raspberries for an instant rush of fresh, fruity greatness.
Creamy and light with milk and Greek yoghurt
The blend of milk and Greek yoghurt introduces a lovely smooth texture to the chia seed smoothie, which is equally creamy and light. While the milk delivers a delicate sweetness, the Greek yoghurt offers a tangy flavour that fits brilliantly with the natural fruity notes from the banana and raspberries. Consistency is key here, and the combination of Greek yoghurt and milk ensures that you get a perfectly creamy smoothie that remains luxurious and rich.
Experiment with different berries
Our chia seed smoothie recipe is a great starting point, and we encourage you to tailor it to your liking. For a sweeter option, try a strawberry banana chia seed smoothie. If you prefer something closer to a raspberry flavour profile, a blueberry chia seed smoothie blends natural sweetness with a milder tartness. For those who love a variety of berries, a mixed berry smoothie offers a wonderful combination with every sip. Customise your smoothie to get a little bit of everything you love.
