I have been falling short of time with my infant and 1st grader hanging all over me. With all the chaos in my life this idea of overnight smoothie was stuck in my brains for a while. Why? Because, I starve in the mornings and I crave for some ready food that’s healthy too. After sleepless nights and rushed mornings, I am mostly out of energy even before the day starts.
Therefore, this Chia Protein Raspberry Smoothie Bowl!!!!!
It is at this time that this smoothie bowl came to me as a refresher. It perked me up with its fresh ingredients. Also, it provided me with ample energy and stamina to get through the busy day.

How to make Chia Protein Raspberry Smoothie Bowl
I simply blended this smoothie in a high-power blender and stirred in chia seeds. Then, I placed the bowl inside the refrigerator and slept through the night. In the morning this smoothie bowl looked pretty and attractive at the first sight.
Lastly, I added some toppings and my morning meal was ready. I was extremely delighted and satisfied with the smooth flavors in it.
However, I tried a quick version of this smoothie bowl with the same ingredients. In this case I let the smoothie rest for 10 minutes. It tasted equally delicious.
So, if you are rushing in the morning just blend this Chia Protein Raspberry Smoothie bowl in the night. If you have a relaxed morning then make it all fresh.
However, the longer the smoothie rests the better it tastes. I also noticed that when I leave this smoothie bowl to rests longer the consistency becomes creamier and ice cream like. Therefore, its perfect to enjoy as a dessert as well 😊
