    Low Carb Blueberry Coconut Chia Seed Smoothie Recipe

    My family is crazy for smoothies. My husband makes them frequently as a way to fill himself up with good nutrition, and the kids always clamour for some as well. I am more than happy to see them drink a homemade smoothie concoction, full of fruit and dairy and maybe a little extra protein. It’s a far better choice of snack than the pre-packaged yogurts and energy drinks so many kids seem to crave. Our freezer always has several large bags of frozen fruit at the ready and Wyman’s wild blueberries are a particular favourite. My girls actually love to eat a bowl of the frozen berries on their own and often leave for school with purple lips and teeth.

    Low carb smoothies packed with blueberries, coconut milk, coconut oil and chia seed. Great nutrition!

    Wyman’s is currently hosting a great Instagram Sweepstakes called 7 Days of Smoothies, to show off the vibrant array of smoothies that can be made with Wyman’s. For three consecutive 7-day periods, you can post a photo of your favourite smoothie made with Wyman’s frozen fruit to Instagram and be entered to win a high quality blender ($500 in value) and a year’s supply of Wyman’s products.

    What do you need to do to enter?

    1. Post your photo to Instagram and include the recipe in the caption.
    2. Tag @wymansfruit and use the #SpringIntoSmoothies hashtag
    3. That’s it! So go get your smoothie on!

    Low carb kids! Enjoying healthy blueberry coconut chia seed smoothies.

    This smoothie is full of wonderful, low carb nutrition, with plenty of antioxidants and healthy fats. I have to confess, I tried to pack it even more full of nutrition by adding in some spinach on the first go round. I figured the beautiful purple colour of the Wyman’s berries would hide the spinach and my kids wouldn’t notice, but apparently I miscalculated. The green of the spinach, the purple of the berries and the black of the chia seeds did not come together well and I ended up with what looked like purply-black sludge. It tasted fantastic but really did not look appetizing AT ALL, and I knew there was no way I’d get my kids to drink it. So I ditched the spinach, knowing that we were still getting great nutrition from the blueberries, coconut and chia. They simply couldn’t resist that gorgeous purple hue and neither could I!

      Hi. This looks yummy. My only question is for the coconut listed. Is it 1/2 cup of coconut shredded or milk?

      I am IN LOVE with this smoothie. I’ve made it non-stop after discovering it last week. As someone who lost 25 pounds on the Atkins diet last year and has committed to maintaining a low-carb diet ever since, this recipe is an essential in my expanding, nutritious low-carb arsenal. THANK YOU so much for creating and sharing this gem!

        Looks so yummy! If I am not using yogurt, would I use 1 or 2 cups of almond milk?

        Thansy!

          That would be pretty thin. If trying to be dairy-free, you may want to use a coconut milk yogurt or an almond milk yogurt. Kite Hill has a good plain almond milk one.

      Hi
      I was wondering what carbohydrates ‘by difference’ means? Do I still subtract the fiber from that number to find out net carbs?

        Sorry, usually I remember to delete that part because it’s confusing. Yes, you still subtract fiber (and I always list the net carbs anyway). It’s the way carbs are actually calculated for all food, by subtracting the weight of all the other nutrients from the total weight.

      I clicked on the link in your e:mail for the Chocolate Brownie Energy Bars and it brought me here. Not a bad place to land, but not the Chocolate Brownie Energy Bars……. Just thought I’d let you know the links aren’t quiet right. For the record, the other recipes do go to the correct place. Meanwhile, I found a couple of other recipes I want to try while poking around. 🙂

      So, I’m totally in love with chia seeds right now. I’ve been having them in oatmeal and I just started using them in smoothies! I’ve been doing low carb lately for my every day food and I’m been using your blog as my guideline and inspiration! <3

      Such an AWESOME smoothie! I love that your kids eat frozen fruit straight. I was shooting a recipe the other day with frozen fruit in the photos and my oldest snuck by and grabbed some, lol! Definitely saving this recipe for my next smoothie craving 🙂

      Smoothies are a definite go-to snack in our house. I especially love adding frozen blueberries because they give smoothies a milkshake-like quality. I really like your addition of coconut cream. I bet the texture of this smoothie is divine.

      Too bad you can’t hide spinach in that smoothie. But it does look wonderfully purple, my kids won’t be able to resist it. And me too.

        If you’re willing to drink something that looked like black sludge but tasted great, I say go for it! Add a cup or two of spinach leaves! But kids are kind of picky like that… 😉
