In a food processor or high speed blender, pour the chia seed mixture into the blender with all remaining ingredients and blend until creamy.
Pour pudding into the bowl, glass, or cup you’re serving in. Garnish by sprinkling chocolate chips on top or additional tart cherries, fresh, frozen or dried. Enjoy!
