Instructions
Creating this parfait is as simple as layering the ingredients together. Follow these easy steps to prepare your Layered Berry Chia Parfait:
- Prepare the Chia Pudding:
In a bowl, mix almond milk, chia seeds, and honey/maple syrup. Stir well to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed. Let this mixture sit for 15 minutes, allowing the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into a pudding-like consistency. - Layer the Parfait:
Begin with a serving glass or bowl. Start by adding a layer of chia pudding at the bottom. Follow this with a layer of mixed berries, then a layer of granola. - Repeat the Layers:
Continue to alternate layers of chia pudding, berries, and granola until all ingredients are used. This will create a visually appealing parfait with multiple layers of colors and textures. - Top It Off:
Finish with a generous amount of extra berries on top. Drizzle with honey or maple syrup if desired for extra sweetness and shine. - Serve and Enjoy:
Your Layered Berry Chia Parfait is now ready to be savored. Enjoy it as a refreshing breakfast or a satisfying snack.
