Notes
• Adjusting Consistency: For a thinner consistency, splash in an extra tablespoon or two of almond milk and pulse briefly. To make it thicker, add a few extra frozen berries or ice cubes.
• Storage: Leftovers can be stored in a tightly sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to twenty-four hours. Shake vigorously or re-blend with a splash of liquid before drinking, as the chia seeds will thicken the mixture over time.
• Nut Allergies: Swap almond milk for oat or soy milk, and replace the almond butter with sunflower seed butter or tahini.
