- Chia seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:

Storage and Substitutions:
- Refrigerate the smoothie base for up to 1 day in an airtight container.
- For longer storage, freeze the smoothie mixture in ice cube trays. When ready to serve, blend the cubes with a splash of almond milk.
- If lime is unavailable, lemon juice makes a great alternative.
- Swap almond milk for any other milk you prefer – coconut, oat, or soy milk all work wonderfully.
