Instructions
- Add the chia seeds to 1/4 cup of the almond milk in a small bowl. Stir well and let sit for 5 minutes to allow the seeds to begin absorbing liquid.

- Add the chia seed mixture and ice cubes to the blender.
- Blend on high speed for 30-60 seconds until smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more almond milk.
