Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Stir the 1 tbsp chia seeds into the 1 cup milk in the blender jug and let them sit for 2 minutes so they start to swell.

  2. Step 2

    Add the 1 frozen banana, 1 scoop vanilla protein powder and 1/4 tsp cinnamon.

  3. Step 3

    Blend on high for about 1 minute until thick and creamy; the chia leaves small dark flecks.

  4. Step 4

    Pour into a glass and serve straight away, before the chia thickens it further.
