  Ingredients (Serves 1–2)

    • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (for extra sweetness)

     Step-by-Step Instructions

     Step 1: Soak the Chia Seeds (Optional but Recommended)

    To get a smoother texture and better digestion:

    1. Add 2 tbsp chia seeds to a small cup.

    2. Mix with 3–4 tablespoons of almond milk.

    3. Let them sit for 10–15 minutes, or until gel-like.

    You can skip this step if you’re blending at high speed, but soaking gives a silkier consistency.

     Step 2: Add All Ingredients to Blender

    In your blender, combine:

    • 1 ripe banana

    • Soaked chia seeds

    • 1/2 cup rolled oats

    • 1 cup almond milk

     Want it cold? Add 3–4 ice cubes or use a frozen banana.

     Step 3: Blend Until Smooth

    • Blend for 30–60 seconds on high until the texture is creamy.

    • If the smoothie is too thick, add more almond milk (1 tbsp at a time).

     Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

    • Pour into a glass or mason jar.

    • Top with a few oats, banana slices, or even a sprinkle of cinnamon for presentation.
