Notes

Abby’s Tip: I love soaking chia seeds overnight in almond milk and blending them with frozen mango in the morning. Creamy, tropical, and totally refreshing!
Customize with any frozen fruit you love, strawberries, pineapple, or peach work great. For extra protein, add nut butter or a scoop of protein powder.
This is perfect after a morning walk or right before a busy day. Prep in batches and store in jars for quick, grab-and-go nutrition!
