Cherry Pie Chia Pudding
When I want a breakfast that’s packed with fiber and protein, but won’t take a lot of time to put together, chia pudding is typically my go-to. This cherry-pie chia pudding is a perfect example of a 5-minute breakfast that lasts you the week in the fridge and you can grab it on your way out the door! The dried cherries are the perfect level of sweet, I recommend topping this one with a big spoonful of almond butter!

Ingredients
2 tablespoons chia seeds
12 grams vanilla protein powder (about 2 tablespoons)
2 tablespoons dried cherries
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
pinch kosher salt
1/2 cup unsweetened nut or oat milk
1/2 tablespoon maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
Directions
- Combine the chia seeds, dried cherries, protein powder, cinnamon, and kosher salt in a jar with a lid.
- Add the almond milk, maple syrup, and almond extract. Whisk vigorously to ensure no chia seeds are stuck at the bottom.
- Chill in the fridge for at least 6 hours, or overnight. Keep chilled until serving.
Notes
- Meal Prep: If you are prepping ahead for the week, add the above measurements to each of your jars.
- Cherries: You can use fresh chopped cherries, if desired, just add them into the jar with the wet ingredients instead of the dry and mix well to combine.
- Protein Powder: The protein powder not only provides the protein, it also adds sweetness. This is the one I used. If you choose to omit, add 1 tablespoon maple syrup (total) to each jar. To supplement for extra protein, add 1/4 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt and 1/4 cup milk of choice.

This is SO good. I crave it when I wake up! Thank you!
Fyi it says it’s for four servings but recipe is for one. Yummy, thanks!
I’ve never tried chia pudding before. I made this one this week and it’s DELICIOUS. I made it in a big batch and saved it for throughout the week as a healthy, high-protein dessert!
excited to try another chia recipe from your blog, planning on using frozen cherries that will hopefully defrost overnight. have you tried it with fresh or frozen cherries?
hi Kate! yes, I’ve used frozen fruit in my chia pudding before with no issues, it defrosts well overnight. If you have large cherries, I would suggest chopping them into 1/2-inch pieces for better bites!
Add 1 tablespoon of?
Protein Powder: The protein powder not only provides the protein, it also adds sweetness. This is the one I used. If you choose to omit, add 1 tablespoon total to each jar.
Hi Meich! If you omit the protein powder, add 1 tablespoon of maple syrup to each jar.
This is literally dessert for breakfast. I’m obsessed. I’ve been doing gf/df to heal some things in my gut and recipes like this help sooo much.
