Chia Pudding with Cherries & Chocolate

Cherries and chocolate – a match made in heaven and perfect for when you want your breakfast to feel like dessert. This chia pudding with cherries and chocolate is a healthy protein packed meal with natural sweetness and luxurious flavors.

aka a healthy way to treat yourself.

Let’s get started…

This one is super easy!

Start by whisking a cup of Greek yogurt (you can use plain or vanilla here) with a cup of your favorite milk, 1/2 cup of chia seeds, 2 tablespoons of honey, agave or pure maple syrup and a teaspoon of pure vanilla extract.

Chill the mixture in an airtight container for a minimum of an hour, but overnight will give you the best texture.

You can use fresh of thawed cherries here, but I actually prefer the frozen ones. They are already pitted (less work for us) and they are all tender and juicy once they are thawed.

I like to use about 1/2 cup of cherries per serving and I add some on the bottom and some on the top to make sure I get cherries in every bite.

When it is time to assemble, start with a few cherries on the bottom of your bowls, divide the chia pudding between them and then top with the remaining cherries and chocolate.

This chia pudding is absolute perfection in my most humblest of opinions and I may or may not have had one for breakfast and the other for dessert, because they are delicious for both…
