Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1/4 cup water for soaking
  • 1 cup coffee hot or cold brew

  1. In a small bowl or jar, combine chia seeds and water. Stir and let soak for 10–15 minutes.
  2. Brew your coffee (hot or cold).
  3. In a glass or mug, add the soaked chia, coffee, almond milk, and vanilla extract.
  4. Stir or shake well to combine.
  5. Add sweetener and a pinch of cinnamon if desired.
  6. Enjoy immediately, or chill for a refreshing iced version.

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.
