Notes
*I use Vega or Orgain vanilla protein powder. You could omit the protein powder, but this really adds to the thick texture and sweetness. If you do omit, I recommend adding a sweetener (such as ½-1 tablespoon honey) to taste. You may also want to slightly decrease the milk (try ⅓ cup) to achieve a thick texture.
**The chia seeds help make these thick and have so many health benefits! However, you could try substituting 1 teaspoon poppy seeds instead.
***You can use any milk you prefer.
