Greek yogurt adds protein and probiotics, while milk contributes smoothness. Chia seeds thicken naturally, adding fiber and omega‑3s. A little syrup brings just enough sweetness without overpowering the fruit flavors.

Feel free to add a scoop of almond butter for richness or swirl in frozen blueberries for a blueberry smoothie twist. Add extra chia seeds for texture, or sprinkle sliced strawberries on top for visual appeal.

To enjoy, just serve in a small glass or tall tumbler, and garnish with a few fresh strawberry or banana slices. This smoothie brightens up any breakfast table. Feel free to sip it while prepping for the day or enjoy it as a refreshing treat on a hot afternoon!
