Healthy Berry Chia Pudding Parfait - featured image

A creamy, naturally sweet, sugar-free chia pudding parfait layered with fresh berries and Greek yogurt, perfect for breakfast or a healthy snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Β½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 cup (150 g) mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
  • Β½ cup (120 g) plain Greek yogurt
  • Fresh mint leaves (a few, optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of chia seeds, 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened almond milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and Β½ teaspoon cinnamon until well mixed.
  2. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight. Stir every 10 minutes during the first 30 minutes to prevent clumping.
  3. Rinse fresh berries gently and pat dry. If using frozen berries, let them thaw slightly or use as is.
  4. Spoon a few tablespoons of pudding into serving jars or glasses. Add a layer of mixed berries, then a dollop of plain Greek yogurt (about 2 tablespoons). Repeat layers until the jar is full, finishing with berries on top.
  5. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and serve immediately or keep refrigerated until ready to enjoy (best within 24 hours).

Notes

If pudding is too thick after chilling, stir in a splash more almond milk to loosen. Layer parfait just before serving to keep berries fresh and prevent sogginess. Use chilled bowls or jars if serving later. For vegan version, swap Greek yogurt with coconut or almond-based yogurt. Variations include adding cocoa powder for chocolate flavor or nuts for crunch.
