The chia seeds create a gel-like consistency, thickening up the smoothie bowl to a creamy texture. If you chill it overnight, it will be even more firm—providing a thick, spoonable texture. Plus those chia seeds are packed with protein and healthy fats. You can get this recipe done in under 10 minutes! Great for meal prep too.
