- 4 pieces Ice cubes
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Instructions

Incorporate 1 tablespoon of chia seeds for fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.

Pour in 0.5 teaspoon of vanilla extract and sprinkle 0.25 teaspoon of ground cinnamon for additional flavor.
For extra sweetness without additional carbs, add 2 drops of liquid stevia, if desired.
Blend all ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy, about 30-45 seconds.
