Chef’s notes

Unlock the potential: Soaking your almonds and chia seeds overnight isn’t just about texture—it’s about activation. This process reduces enzyme inhibitors, making the nutrients more bioavailable and the smoothie easier on your digestion. Think of it as waking up the ingredients before they wake you up 😉
