Notes
Paula’s Tip: For an ultra-creamy texture, blend the soaked chia with coffee and milk instead of just stirring. It turns into a smooth, protein-rich latte!
Try using cold brew for a refreshing twist, or add a dash of cinnamon to warm hot coffee with comforting flavor.
You can prep soaked chia seeds in batches and keep them in the fridge for 3–4 days to save time on busy mornings.
