- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt non-dairy yogurt for vegan option

Notes
Storage: Best consumed immediately. If needed, store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours—stir well before serving as chia seeds may thicken it. Make-ahead: Pre-measure dry ingredients like chia seeds and store with other ingredients in a freezer bag for a quick blend. Variations: Add a handful of spinach for greens, substitute strawberries with mixed berries, or add a tablespoon of flaxseed for extra omega-3. Serving suggestion: Garnish with a strawberry slice and a sprinkle of chia seeds.
