Chia seeds can be a little hard to digest so in this smoothie bowl recipe the chia is soaked for 20-30 mins or overnight.
Soak ¼ cup of chia seeds, in 1 cup of unsweetened vanilla almond milk with 1 tsp of cinnamon. Stir a couple of times and then let it set in the fridge. It should set like porridge. Cover any leftover chia pudding and keep in the fridge for up to 5 days.
For the smoothie:
1 pure unsweetened acai puree pouch- 1 frozen banana in pieces
- 1 apple, cored and chopped, skin on

Arrange the layers:
Place half the chia mixture in the bottom of a bowl or glass.

For the topping suggestions:
- Sprinkle with frozen blueberries in a row, dust with shredded coconut
