# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It keeps you full for hours without that heavy post smoothie crash
  • The texture becomes almost pudding like if you let it sit, which feels like eating dessert for breakfast
02 -
  • The longer this sits the thicker it gets, so drink within 15 minutes if you prefer a sippable smoothie
  • Chia seeds will sink to the bottom, so give it a quick stir before each sip
03 -
  • Invest in a good blender or the chia seeds will stay annoyingly gritty
  • Run your frozen berries under warm water for 30 seconds if they are stuck together
