If you prefer a smoother texture, blend all ingredients except chia seeds until smooth, then stir in the chia seeds.
For a protein boost, add a scoop of your favorite protein powder when combining the wet ingredients.
Make individual servings in mason jars for an easy grab-and-go breakfast.
To prevent clumping, be sure to whisk the mixture well and stir again after the first 15 minutes of refrigeration.
