Mixed Berry Coconut Chia Smoothie

Stir chia seeds into milk and set aside for a couple of minutes.

Blend everything (except coconut slices) with the chia mixture until smooth, or desired consistency. Top with coconut slices.

Notes:
1. For smoothies, I use the unsweetened carton coconut milk, found in the refrigerated dairy section. The canned milk can be an option, but will have a stronger coconut-y flavor.
2. Want a smoother smoothie? No worries. Blend longer until silky, and totally free of fruit grit. Strain if desired.
3. Serve immediately or store refrigerated for up to 1–2 hours.
4. This makes 4 cups, or 3 generous servings. Need more? Double ingredients.
5. Coconut slices come frozen at Asian specialty groceries or you can buy the dried unsweetened coconut chips.
