Notes
For a frostier texture: Chill everything. Use cold milk, cold yogurt, and frozen watermelon to keep it ultra-refreshing without needing much ice.
Chia seeds: Let your smoothie sit for 5 minutes after blending—this gives the chia seeds time to thicken the texture naturally, making it creamier without any added ingredients.
