Antioxidant–Rich Smoothie Recipe

What is Salba?

Salba is the name brand of white chia seeds, or Salvia his panica. White chia seeds (like their similar counterpart,
black chia seeds) are easily assimilated and are high in fiber and in the minerals iron, calcium, magnesium, and potassium. They are also a good source of fiber and are rich in Omega-3s and Omega-6s. You can replace white chia
with black chia seeds, or if you can’t find either, flaxseeds will provide both fiber and Omega-3 oils as well.

What is Yerba Maté? 

Yerba Maté is from South America. It is a slightly less potent stimulant than coffee and gentler on the stomach.
It tastes something like a strong, dark green tea. Yerba Maté contains potassium, magnesium and manganese.
A good replacement is green tea extract or ground green tea leaves.
