    • In overnight oats

    💭 Tips

    • Blend a small amount of water with blueberries in a Nutribullet or high-speed blender. If your blender doesn't
      break down the blueberries you'll need to strain the mixture.
    • After adding the chia seeds let the mixture sit so that the chia seeds get gelatinous.
    • If you don't like the texture of chia seeds after trying it, strain them out.
