Notes
- Add honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness.
- Use more coconut milk for a thinner consistency.
- You can use any plant-based milk — almond milk, oat milk, soy milk, or cashew milk all work well. If you want to keep the tropical vibe, light coconut milk or coconut water are the best swaps. For thin coconut milk, dilute ½ cup canned coconut milk with ½ cup water.
- Soaking is not mandatory but is highly recommended. Soaked chia seeds blend more smoothly, are easier to digest, and help avoid bloating. Soak them in ¼ cup water for at least 20 minutes — or prep them the night before for a quick morning smoothie.
