Synergy: Raspberry Chia

When I got to my first period this morning, I realized it had been cancelled. I quickly ran to get my favorite soy latte (because I am running on 4 hours of sleep) and a Synergy drink for later. 

I tried a new flavor: Raspberry Chia!

It looked so beautiful and bright and had a delicious flavor, but having thousands of chia seeds flow down my throat is just a little too weird. Kind of grossed me out... But I am a fan of chia seeds. They have 8 times the omega-3's found in salmon, more antioxidants than blueberries, and more fiber than oatmeal. Wow... that's a powerful little seed. I am just hoping it won't make me grow hair like a chia pet.

After my post on Monday about the green smoothie, I visited Peanut Butter Runner, one of my favorite blogs, and found out about her 7 day green smoothie challenge! Of course I had to join.

So here is my green smoothie I drank from Whole Foods, because I was too busy to make my own yesterday. It had kale, spinach, lemon, and apples in it. It was good, but more watered down than I prefer. (Side note: don't judge this picture. It is only proof that I am completing the challenge. It was taken by my iPhone in my car. Did I mention I was in a hurry?)
