Cherry Chia Seed Pudding

Cherry Chia Seed Pudding is an easy make-ahead dish. I love being able to make this and use it in my meal plan all week long. This chia seed pudding tastes SO indulging. Its hard to believe it is made with clean ingredients.

Cherries are the perfect summer snack! As a kid, this was my favorite fruit. As an adult, I still love them and enjoy incorporating them into fun meals. This Cherry Chia Seed Pudding brings back those childhood memories of red stained fingers from the messy juice, to the company I shared them with. I love this pudding.

This pudding is great as a snack or even for breakfast. This is also a flexible recipe. Feel free to trade the cherries for a berry. All the measurements and cooking time will remain the same. Its fun to change it up, especially around the seasons.

The cherries complement this chia seed pudding well. Off-season, cherries can get really pricey. During this time I would really recommend trying a berry in this recipe. Go with what is in season, what is on sale, and always check out your local farmers market to see if they have good prices there. When money is tight, skip the fruit. This chia seed pudding holds well on its own without the added fruit inside or in the glaze. The honey and cinnamon combo still give this a rich and tasty flavor.

I really like using this in my meal planning. This is one of those recipes that you can store a portion size in a mason jar and keep in the fridge all week long when hunger strikes!

I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do. As always, let me know how you like it–I’d love to hear all your fun variations you try!
