    Chocolate Cherry Pomegranate Chia Pudding

    Satisfy a chocolate craving with this flavorful and nutrient rich chia pudding that comes together in minutes and does all the work for you in the fridge overnight!

    Chocolate Cherry Pomegranate Chia Pudding

    I’m late to the chia pudding party. I’m so late that the party is already over, and the hosts have gone to bed and turned out the lights. But better late than never… right? 

    I kid, I kid. This party is by no means over. I’ve turned the lights back on, the music is pumpin’, and I’ve made myself a place setting with a lovely jar of Chocolate Cherry Pomegranate Chia Pudding.

    Chia pudding is all the rage, and now that I’m finally on the bandwagon I can see why. This stuff is ridiculously easy, wonderfully tasty, and is a “one bowl” recipe. I put that in quotes because I don’t even use a bowl – I use a mason jar.

    I use a 32 ounce mason jar to make this, set it in the fridge, and then pour a quarter of it into a smaller 8 ounce jar each morning to bring with me to work for breakfast. Grab and go, FTW!

    The magic of chia seeds

    Chia seeds are called the “superfood of the Aztecs” thanks to their high fiber, protein and calcium content. They’re credited for improving heart health, joint function, and a healthier digestive system.

    Since they swell so much when they’re in contact with liquid (think: water or almond milk), it may give you the feeling of being full which will prevent you from non-diet friendly snacking. And if you’re anything like me, that’s a big win.

    How many chia seeds should you consume?

    All that’s recommended is a tablespoon of chia seeds each day, but you’ll get two tablespoons in each serving of this chia pudding. Some people experience tummy issues with too much, so if you’re prone to having a sensitive stomach, maybe start with a single tablespoon of chia seeds for each serving to get yourself started.

    Chia seeds can be sprinkled dry on other foods, such as a dash of chia on top of some toast covered in peanut butter – but I’ve found that I really prefer them in pudding form. There are so many variations you can make out of this base vanilla recipe that the possibilities are seriously endless.

    Me? I’m all over what you see in this post today: pomegranate seeds, chopped chocolate, and a literal cherry on top!

    Long story short, expect to see more recipes that include chia seeds around these parts in the future.
