My notes
Tips
- Frozen wild blueberries give the deepest color and flavor. Out of blueberries? Use the same weight of mixed berries.
- Let the chia soak the full 15 minutes. Soaked seeds blend into a smooth gel that keeps the bowl thick; dry seeds stay gritty.
- Soak the chia in the milk overnight in the fridge, then blend and freeze in the morning.
Why it works
Soaked chia seeds turn into a gel that holds on to water, so the frozen block spins thick and smooth instead of icy. Banana and skyr add body and creaminess, and ripe fruit brings all the sweetness.
