Sweet and tropical, with a tangy kiwi note and a slightly thicker texture from the chia.
Chia seeds come from a plant in the mint family native to Mexico and Central America. They absorb liquid and swell, which gives smoothies a thicker body; they also provide fibre. Coconut water is the clear liquid of young coconuts and tastes mildly sweet. Together with mango, rich in provitamin A, and kiwi, known for vitamin C, it makes a fruity and filling glass for breakfast or after sport.
Not necessarily, but soaking them briefly makes the smoothie smoother.
Yes, plain water or orange juice work; orange juice makes it sweeter.
