Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons chia seeds
• 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
• 2 tablespoons peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
• 1–2 tablespoons sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or agave, adjust to taste)

Instructions

1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl or jar, mix 3 tablespoons of chia seeds with 1 cup of milk, 2 tablespoons of peanut butter, and 1 to 2 tablespoons of your chosen sweetener. Stir thoroughly to ensure peanut butter is evenly distributed and chia seeds won’t clump.
