- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)

Sprinkle the chia seeds into the blender, and if you prefer added sweetness, drizzle in the honey (optional).
Add the ice cubes to the blender to create a chilled, refreshing smoothie texture.

Taste the smoothie and adjust the sweetness by adding more honey, if desired.
Pour the smoothie into two glasses and serve immediately for the freshest flavor.
