  • 1 banana, sliced
  • ½ cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
  • 2 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 tbsp honey (optional)
  • Toppings: sliced fresh strawberries, blueberries, granola, and/or shredded coconut

  • Spoon the chia seed mixture on top of the smoothie.
  • Add your favorite toppings, such as sliced fresh strawberries, blueberries, granola, and/or shredded coconut.
  • Seal the jar and refrigerate overnight.
  • In the morning, give the jar a good shake to mix everything together.
