Thyroid-Happy Berry-Chia-Mint-Parsley-Almond Milk Green Smoothie

 This NON-goitrogenic green smoothie is the fourth This Thyroid-happy smoothie is an adaptation of a great Green Smoothie by Drew Canole of JuiceUp Your Life.  Drew adds in protein powder, I just stick with Chia Gel to provide the protein.  I use blueberries, but you can use raspberries (like Drew does) or any other NON-goitrogenic berries (NOT strawberries, alas).  It is unlike these other Thyroid-Happy smoothie recipes on Smoothie Moves since I use unsweetened Almond Mylk.  I used the pre-made kind, but you could make your own (including high-selenium Brazil Nut Mylk- yum) with just the ingredients, a blender and a sieve.  

Thyroid-happy Berry-Chia-Mint-Parsley-Almond Milk Green Smoothie 

• Small handful fresh Mint leaves, stripped from stems
• Small handful fresh Parsley
• 1/2 - 1 C. Frozen Berries (or fresh berries)-- I used frozen organic blueberries
• 1/2 C. Chia Gel (1/4 C. chia seeds in quart of water, stir, leave for 15 minutes- Go HERE for chia seed gel recipes)
• 1 - 2 C. of unsweetened Almond Milk 

METHOD:
Put all of the above into your high speed blender, or divide in half for a less speedy blender and do in two batches.  Relax and enjoy!
