This Coffee and Chia Seed Smoothie Bowl is your excuse to skip the drive-thru and still act like a functioning adult.

Chia seeds keep things thick, coffee keeps you moving, and the whole vibe screams “I woke up like this” (even if you didn’t). It’s plant-based, spoonable, and prettier than your overpriced morning latte—no barista attitude included.
