Peach Chia Breakfast Shake

This shake is simple so the nectar-like flavours of fresh summer peaches can really shine, though it’s also terrific made with blueberries when peaches aren’t available. The chia seeds create a luscious consistency and provide abundant omega fatty acids and steady endurance for the day ahead. If you want to sneak in an extra superfood, blend in a little maca root powder or add a sprinkle of bee
pollen on top.
Note: For the best results, it’s essential to make this recipe with homemade almond milk and ripe local peaches. Honey can be a nice addition, depending on the sweetness of your peaches and your preference, so it’s optional here.

2 tablespoons chia seeds 360 ml (12 fl.oz/1½ cups) almond milk 3 large peaches (560 g/1 lb 4 oz), pitted and quartered 1 tablespoon coconut butter or extra virgin coconut oil &1 teaspoon vanilla extract ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon 2 to 3 teaspoons raw honey, optional

cinnamon and honey (if using) in an upright blender.
