Tired of the sweet stuff? This smoothie recipe brings the heat, thanks to the serrano chile pepper and fresh grated ginger. Blend them with omega-3-rich chia seeds and nutrient-packed fresh papaya and pineapple juice, and this drink is just what the doctor ordered. Note: The instructions call for room-tempertaure pineapple juice (the temperature best-suited to creating a chia gel), but you can keep things cool by popping the mixture into the freezer for 10 minutes before serving. Add a sprig of cilantro for color, and you’ve got yourself a picture-perfect smoothie to sip on.<\/p>\n
