Chia Seed and Cherry Pudding

Chia seed and cherry pudding. Ideal for all ages.
To sweeten it, if you like it sweet, you can use brown sugar, or, like in my case, a sweetener.
You just need to heat the milk, and a little rest in the fridge, at least 2 hours to enjoy it well..
It is a dessert/breakfast/snack, light but at the same time delicious and nutritious, made with healthy ingredients, suitable for an omnivorous, vegan, or vegetarian diet, depending on whether you use animal or plant-based milk or yogurt.
