1 frozen ripe banana, sliced
1/2 cup plain yogurt or coconut yogurt
1 tsp maple syrup (optional) Shop
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract Shop

Instructions

1 The night before, stir the chia seeds into the almond milk in a jar. Wait 5 minutes, stir again, cover and refrigerate overnight, at least 8 hours.
2 In the morning, pour the chia gel into a blender and add the berries, banana, yogurt, maple syrup and vanilla.
3 Blend on high for 45-60 seconds, until smooth and thick. Add a splash of almond milk if needed.
4 Pour into two glasses and serve right away, before the chia thickens further.

Tips & Notes

Stir the chia twice when you set it to soak. Seeds left alone sink and clump, and the clumps do not blend smoothly.
Use coconut yogurt and maple syrup to make the overnight chia smoothie vegan and dairy-free.
Soak three jars of chia at once on Sunday. They keep for 3 days in the fridge, ready to blend.
