How to make it Chia Pudding
Combine the almond milk, coconut, and cacao powder in a jar and shake up with a protein shaker (or Nutribullet/blender).
Add the blended mixture to the chia seeds (less clumps if you do it this way!)
Leave the mixture to sit for 10-15mins. Stir again.
Put it in the fridge now for a minimum of 30-minutes to allow the chia seeds time to expand
When you’re ready to eat/serve, add the cherries, chocolate chips and yoghurt
To serve, either:
Layer it (like my picture), or
Simply place it in a bowl and add the extras on top.
So long as you get all of the flavours in your belly, you will be satisfied!
