Instructions

1. Mix Ingredients

In a jar or bowl, combine:

Chia seeds

Milk

Protein powder

Greek yogurt

Nut butter (if using)

Vanilla extract

Sweetener

Whisk or stir vigorously until smooth.

Tip: Using a blender for 20–30 seconds makes it extra creamy.

Cinnamon

Cocoa nibs

Enjoy straight from the jar or in a bowl.
