Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups watermelon, pureed
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1 cup almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)

Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the watermelon puree, almond milk, and maple syrup (if using).
- Stir until the liquid looks smooth and slightly frothy.
