Cherry Chia Pudding Recipe

I recently tried making this cherry chia pudding, and I was amazed at how creamy and flavorful it turned out. Using simple ingredients, I created a healthy breakfast that felt indulgent but was guilt-free. The cherries added a natural sweetness, while the chia seeds gave it the perfect texture

Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • Frozen cherries – ½ cup
  • Unsweetened dairy-free milk – ½ cup
  • Maple syrup – 2 teaspoons
  • Almond extract – ¼ teaspoon
  • Whole chia seeds – 3 tablespoons

Method
 

  1. Start by blending the frozen cherries, dairy-free milk, maple syrup, and almond extract until smooth. Make sure not to overmeasure the almond extract, as it can dominate the flavor.
  2. Pour the cherry milk into a jar and stir in the chia seeds thoroughly. Give them a good mix to avoid clumping.
  3. Allow the mixture to sit for 10 minutes, then stir again. Cover and refrigerate overnight or until it thickens to your desired consistency.
  4. Stir the pudding once more before serving. Add fresh fruit, granola, or coconut flakes to make it visually appealing and more flavorful.

Notes

  • I always give the chia seeds a second stir after 10 minutes to prevent clumps.
  • I prefer using frozen sweet cherries for consistent flavor and color.
  • Adjust the milk slightly if your chia seeds gel faster or slower than expected.
  • For single servings, I blend each portion separately to control the liquid-to-seed ratio.
