Notes
- Silken tofu increases the protein content of this smoothie. Protein is important for muscle growth and repair and also assists in providing satiety.
- Chia seeds are a good source of omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 is a polyunsaturated fat that is also found in deep sea fish such as salmon. Omega-3 fatty acids can reduce your risk of heart disease.
- Chia seeds also provide soluble fibre which can assist in lowering cholesterol and regulating digestion.
