CHERRY BERRY PUDDING
Quick and easy to prepare the night before, this will quickly become a breakfast staple. Chia seeds are a good source of healthy omega-3 fatty acids, and when combined with vitamin and mineral-rich plant-based milk and antioxidant-dense fruit, make this a healthy and delicious breakfast choice. For a creamier texture, use milk with higher protein, such as soy, cashew, or coconut milk.
Topping choices are endless; select fresh or frozen berries: tart cherries, blackberries, blueberries, or raspberries. Add a little crunch with chopped nuts, granola, or coconut flakes. For those who like sweetness, drizzle your toppings with Maple syrup for a jarful of healthy goodness.

1 tbsp/15 ml maple syrup

Optional: add a few ‘fresh’ berries to each jar. If you add frozen berries to the mixture, I recommend adding an extra tbsp of chia seeds when preparing the pudding.
