- 1 heaping scoop vanilla or chocolate protein powder

- Make chia jam
- Bring frozen cherries over low-med heat on stove, mashing as they warm to release juices
- Add a drizzle of syrup and allow to reduce 5-10 minutes
- Remove from heat and stir in chia seeds. Allow to cool before topping your oats with them
- Melt chocolate in 20 second intervals until smooth, then pour overtop your chia jam and oats
