Top tip for Success!
Taste the smoothie mixture to see if it's to your desired sweetness before mixing with the chia seed. Add more sweetener (maple syrup) if you'd like. Or if it's too sweet add additional milk or greek yogurt! Keep in mind, if you are layering with greek yogurt, it's alright for the smoothie mixture to be slightly sweeter!
Perfect Chia Seed Pudding Ratio: 1 tablespoon chia seeds to ¼ cup of any liquid!
