If you haven’t tried chia seeds yet, here is a great recipe to get you started. Chia seeds are a super food, packed with nutrition. Not to mention, they are really fun! When you add liquid to them, they soak it up and become the texture of tapioca pearls. Chia pudding is a healthy alternative to tapioca pudding, and it’s incredibly simple to make.
In this recipe, I topped my favorite chia pudding recipe with cherries and apricots. The pudding is excellent alone or with the addition of your favorite fruits. Use whatever is freshest and looks best at the market. Here, I used fresh cherries and apricots, but mixed berries are also a wonderful choice.
Cinnamon Vanilla Chia Pudding with Cherries & Apricots
Servings: 1-2
5 tablespoons chia seeds
1 cup almond milk or your favorite milk alternative
2 tablespoons agave nectar, or more to taste
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon vanilla bean paste (optional- but really amazing!)
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
1 apricot, pitted and cut into small slices
1 handful of pitted sweet cherries
1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the chia seeds, almond milk, agave nectar, vanilla and cinnamon. Allow to sit for about 15-20 minutes, whisking occasionally. Let it sit longer for a thicker pudding.
2. Top with apricot slices and cherries. Enjoy!
