- Honey, to taste
- 1 cup frozen cherries
- Fruit for toppings
Method
Combine the chia seeds and milk together in a small bowl. Add honey based on your sweetness level. Stir for 3 minutes, until the ingredients start to gel. Place in refrigerator for at least 4 hours (and up to 24 hours).
In a blender, place the frozen cherries and 1/2 cup of water. Blend well.
Stir the cherry mixture into your pudding and top with your favorite fruits.
