Why This Green Smoothie Bowl is Healthy:
Chia seeds are high in Omega-3s which helps reduce inflammation in the body and support a healthy heart.
Why It Works for Weight Loss:
The potassium in a banana (422 milligrams) helps control appetite and reduces bloating. Plus a banana is relatively high in fiber, with 3.1 grams.
