# Expert Advice:

01 -

No cooking required, which means you can prep these while your coffee brews and still make it out the door on time.
The chia seeds add an almost magical thickness that makes this feel indulgent despite being genuinely nutritious.
You get that jammy raspberry layer that tastes like you put way more effort in than you actually did.

02 -

The chia seeds need liquid to work their magic—don't skip adding them to water or they'll stay hard and gritty, which is genuinely unpleasant.
Stir these gently in the morning instead of aggressively mixing, or you'll lose those beautiful layers and the texture becomes too uniform.
