What ingredients are in the cacao drizzle and how do I make it?

The cacao drizzle is made by stirring together 1 tablespoon cacao powder and 1 teaspoon maple syrup. Add a tiny bit of water if you need a thinner consistency.

What's the best way to layer the Berry Chia Smoothie components?

For a visually appealing drink, place the chia pudding at the bottom, drizzle the cacao sauce inside the glass, then pour in the blended smoothie.

Can I substitute the frozen mango or strawberries in this smoothie?

While the recipe uses frozen mango and fresh strawberries, you can experiment with other frozen berries or fruits that complement the banana and walnut milk base.

How long can I store this Berry Chia Smoothie?

This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. The chia pudding will continue to thicken.

How to Prepare Berry Chia Smoothie With Cacao Drizzle [Vegan]

To make the chia pudding:

Stir together the chia seeds and walnut milk, then let it sit for 10 minutes. The chia seeds will double in size and soak up the milk so it becomes like rice pudding!

To make the smoothie:

Blend everything until smooth.

To make the cacao drizzle:

Stir together the ingredients until combined. If it's not drizzly enough, add a tiny bit of water.
Layer the pudding, smoothie and cacao drizzle as desired in a glass, then enjoy! I put the chia pudding in the bottom of the glass, drizzled the chocolate sauce inside the glass, then poured in the smoothie.
