🌀 Two-Part Game Plan (4-Minute Real-World Clock)
- Whip the chia base
- Stir chia + ½ cup milk in a glass.
- Let it sit 10–15 min (or overnight while you binge K-dramas).
- Add a honey drizzle if you have a sweet tooth.
- Blend the fruity layer
- Chuck raspberries, banana, yogurt, remaining milk, and booster into a blender.
- Hit “obliterate” for 45 sec. Too thick? Splash more milk.
- Layer smoothie over chia pudding. Spoon + straw = instant adulting. 😊
Rinse that blender ASAP—our future selves deserve clean countertops.

❓ Rapid-Fire FAQ
Can I meal-prep it?
Totally. Shake the chia base the night before, fridge it, blend fruit in the a.m., layer, go.
Dairy-free fix?
Coconut yogurt rocks. Or ditch yogurt and toss in ¼ avocado for creaminess.
Kids hate “weird seeds”?
Blend chia with the fruit. Texture gone, nutrients still party.
