05 - 1 tablespoon honey, maple syrup, or agave syrup

06 - 1 tablespoon nut butter (peanut, almond, or cashew)

07 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

08 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

02 - If using optional add-ins, add nut butter, vanilla extract, and cinnamon to the blender.

03 - Blend on high speed until completely smooth and creamy, approximately 45-60 seconds.

05 - Pour into two glasses and allow to sit for 2-3 minutes so chia seeds can swell slightly. Serve immediately.

01 -

Five minutes from cupboard to glass, making it possible even on chaotic mornings when you're running ten minutes late
The chia seeds transform the texture into something surprisingly satisfying, like a dessert that's somehow good for you

02 -

I once forgot to let it sit and drank it immediately, missing out on that glorious thickened texture
Over-blending can actually make it warm, so stop as soon as everything looks smooth and combined

03 -

Keep your blender pitcher in the freezer for an extra chill factor that makes everything taste better
If your chia seeds clump at the bottom, give it a quick stir with a spoon before drinking
