Sprinkle in the chia seeds, ground cinnamon, and pure vanilla extract to elevate the flavor profile and add an extra nutritional punch.
Add 3 ice cubes to chill the smoothie and make it refreshingly cold.
Blend everything on high speed for about 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture is completely smooth.
