Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds (about 45g)
  • 1 cup almond milk (240ml), unsweetened preferred
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (60g), plain or vanilla (or coconut yogurt for dairy-free)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (15ml), adjust to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (2.5ml)
  • 1/2 cup fresh berries (75g) – blueberries, strawberries, or raspberries
  • 1 teaspoon ground flaxseed (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons toasted nuts or granola (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine chia seeds and almond milk in a mixing bowl or jar. Stir well with a spoon or whisk to prevent clumps.
  2. Add Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
  3. If using, sprinkle in ground flaxseed and stir to combine.
  4. Cover the jar or bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight.
  5. Prepare toppings by rinsing and slicing fresh berries and toasting nuts or preparing granola if using.
  6. Assemble the parfait by layering chia pudding and fresh berries in serving glasses or bowls. Repeat layers and top with nuts or granola.
  7. Serve immediately or keep chilled until ready to eat. Best consumed within 2 days.

Notes

If pudding is too thick in the morning, stir in a splash of almond milk to loosen. Whisk chia seeds into liquid well to avoid clumps. Soaking overnight yields best texture but at least 4 hours is acceptable. Can be customized with different fruits, nuts, or protein powder.
