Optional, choose any
- 1 Tbsp vanilla protein powder (whey or plant)
- ½ tsp cinnamon or ground ginger
- ¼–½ cup berries for topping

Notes
Daily portion: 1–2 Tbsp chia seeds per serving is a sensible everyday range.
Hydration matters: Drink water through the day; chia absorbs liquid.
Texture control: Use ~1:6 chia-to-liquid for spoonable pudding; add liquid to thin.
Low-sugar: Favor zero-calorie sweeteners and berries; avoid heavy syrups.
Allergies/meds: Swap milks as needed; consult a professional if on blood thinners.
