Doin' Some Cookin'... Tropical Chia Smoothie

It's not summertime yet but the temps here in Texas have said otherwise. These hot days have me craving the beach and pina coladas.

The only problem is that alcohol and being beach body ready isn't in the cards. Not only is it the alcohol in a pina colada but all of the added sugar that cause belly fat. Um hello, fruit alone is sweet enough. So a healthier alternative is to make a smoothie instead with unsweetened coconut milk and chia seeds to help banish that belly fat.

This smoothie is thick, creamy and ice cold which is perfect for cooling down and keeping your beach body in mind. Just a heads up, chia seeds swell in liquid the longer they sit which will make this much thicker if it's not enjoyed right away.
