Apple Date Cherry Chia Pudding

It’s a superfood.  

Yes, it really is. 

Just “Google” chia pudding and I promise you all the results will incorporate the words: healthy, superfood, delicious, amazing, raw, treat, meal, snack, incredible, nutritious, cleansing, Gwyneth Paltrow, Yoni Jade Eggs 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 , etc. (well, maybe not the last one, but you get the picture).

 

Made with chia seeds, coconut milk, cooked apples, chopped dates, and dried cherries, this healthy breakfast/snack/dessert recipe is a mini spa-heaven escape. 

 

Top it with juicy fresh fruit or swirl in some jam or honey, if you like. 

 

You do YOU. Enjoy you. Cherish YOU. (And, if that includes a purchase of Jade Eggs, do that too! 😉).
