A delightful and nutritious chia pudding featuring vibrant cherries, perfect for breakfast or a healthy snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy, such as almond or coconut)
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)
- 1 cup cherries, pitted and chopped
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, chia seeds, maple syrup (or honey), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
- Gently fold in the chopped cherries, allowing their juices to blend with the pudding mixture.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture to an airtight container, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight until the pudding thickens and the chia seeds expand.
- Once thickened, give the pudding a good stir to combine. Serve immediately or portion into jars for an easy grab-and-go snack or breakfast.
Notes
For a smoother texture, blend the mixture before refrigerating. Avoid overmixing to maintain texture. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
