Ingredients

Chia Pudding Mixture

1 ½ cups Greek yogurt or other yogurt of choice
3 tablespoons chia seeds
2 tablespoon coconut flakes
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cherry Mixture

1 cup fresh cherries
¼ cup sugar or other granulated sweetener of choice
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoon walnuts
1 lime
Option: honey or agave syrup for serving

Instructions

In a medium-size bowl add yogurt, chia, coconut flakes, and vanilla extract. Mix well until the ingredients are combined. Set aside for at least 10 - 15 minutes.

Cherries

Wash the cherries and remove the pits. Pop into a medium-sized bowl.
Add in the sugar, juice of half a lime, and cinnamon.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight. This helps the cherries to release their juices.

Serving

Put a layer of the cherry mixture into the bottom of 2 glass jars. Then add the chia pudding mixture.
Garnish with extra cherries, chopped walnuts, a sprinkle of cinnamon, and extra coconut flakes.

Notes

Notes

Do not try adding toppings to the chia seed mixture before it has had time to sit for at least 10-15 minutes. If you add the fruit before this, it will sink to the bottom.
