Ingredients:
Maraschino Cherries (Cherry Man)
Plain Yogurt (Greek add protein to the meal)
Chia Seeds
Cinnamon
Options:
Vanilla yogurt has a sweeter flavor than plain yogurt/Greek yogurt. Use the flavor that resonates with you. The maraschino cherries add some sweetness that cuts into the plain yogurt's tartness but does not make the vanilla too sweet. Follow your taste buds!
You can more or less chia to make thicker/thinner in consistency.
Instructions:
To save in clean up (if you are making a personal sized portion) make this in the container in which you will eat the Cherry Chia Yogurt. If you are making for a family/group, increase the quantities and place in a larger container. This meal is for TWO.
Start by cutting the maraschino cherries in half and putting them in the container you wish to use. (I used half of a 10 oz jar).
Add 2 cups of yogurt and 4 TBSP chia seeds
Add 1/2 TSP cinnamon
Stir well
Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
HINT: You can add the JUICE form the cherries!
Serving Suggestions:
Enjoy for breakfast or as a snack. You can sprinkle granola or dried cherries on the Cherry Chia for additional texture.
Pair with coffee or tea. I suggest Traditional Medicinals Green Tea Hibiscus.
