Tips
If you want a thicker smoothie, add a few ice cubes to the blender, or alternatively, let the smoothie sit in the fridge for 10 minutes before consuming. This will allow the chia seeds to release their gelatinous part, making it thicker.
If you prefer a more liquid consistency, add a bit of water or even milk as desired.
