Ingredients
• 1/4 cup chia seeds
• 1 cup almond milk or any milk of choice
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
• 1/2 cup granola
• 1/2 cup fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, etc.)
- In a medium bowl, combine the chia seeds with the almond milk.
- Add vanilla extract and honey or maple syrup to the chia mixture.
- Stir the mixture well to combine and ensure there are no clumps of chia seeds.
- Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator overnight, or for at least 6 hours.
- The next morning, stir the chia seed mixture to check the consistency. The chia seeds should have absorbed the milk and the mixture should have a thick, pudding-like texture.
- If the chia pudding is too thick, you can add a bit more milk and stir to reach the desired consistency.
- In a serving glass or jar, layer half of the chia pudding at the bottom.
- Add a layer of Greek yogurt on top of the chia pudding.
- Sprinkle half of the granola over the Greek yogurt.
- Arrange half of the fresh berries on top of the granola.
- Repeat the layering process with the remaining chia pudding, Greek yogurt, granola, and fresh berries.
- Serve the parfait immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to eat. Enjoy your Healthy Nutritious Overnight Chia Seed Parfait!
