Chef's Note
For a healthier version that still appeals to kids, you can substitute the honey with dates and reduce the chocolate chips. To make this smoothie extra special for the little ones, try freezing it in popsicle molds for a fun frozen treat on hot days. The chia seeds add omega-3s without changing the flavor that kids love.
