Sour Cherry Chia Puddings

This Decadent Dessert-Like Chia Pudding Recipe Makes a Yummy Breakfast

This chia pudding recipe has a seasonal twist as it incorporates an in-season sour cherry flavor. For added health benefits, the dish is also served with a side of dark chocolate super seed crisps. Created by blogger and photographer Renee Shuman from Will Frolic For Food, the sour cherry chia pudding can be enjoyed as a decadent yet healthy breakfast, a dessert or a snack whenever.

Full of protein and omega 3 fatty acids, the chia pudding recipe calls for ingredients such as chia seeds, almond or coconut milk, sour cherries, honey (or agave if you subscribe to a vegan diet), vanilla extract, room temperature coconut oil and lemon zest. The chocolate super seed crisps can also be substituted for cacao nibs.
