Chef's Notes

Substitutions
Use another purple-hued fruit of choice in place of the cherries, such as strawberries or blueberries.

Substitute walnuts, pecans, or cashews for the almonds.

Substitute flax seeds, flax meal, or hemp seeds in place of chia seeds.

Swap out any of the toppings for your favorite toppings of choice.

Cacao Nibs
If you’re sensitive to caffeine, omit the cacao nibs.
