Ingredients
Scale
For the Chia Pudding:
- 5 tablespoons chia seeds
- ½ cup liquid (e.g., full-fat coconut milk, nut milk, or coconut yogurt — adjust based on desired thickness)
- Sweetener to taste (e.g., honey, agave, or maple syrup)
- ¼ cup almond milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
For the Fruit Layer:
- 8 oz frozen mixed berries
- ⅓ cup guava juice
- Maple syrup, to taste
Toppings:
- Granola
- Coconut flakes
- Fresh berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries)
- Fresh mint (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Make the Chia Pudding: In a medium bowl, combine chia seeds, vanilla coconut yogurt, almond milk, vanilla, and maple syrup. Mix well, cover, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight, allowing the chia seeds to expand and thicken.
- Prepare the Fruit Layer: Blend frozen mixed berries with guava juice until smooth but thick enough to spoon. Add a touch of maple syrup for extra sweetness if desired.
- Assemble the Parfait: In a glass or jar, spoon a layer of the fruit mixture, followed by a layer of chia pudding. Repeat until the glass is about two-thirds full.
- Top and Garnish: Add granola, coconut flakes, and fresh berries for texture and color. Garnish with a sprig of mint for that fresh finishing touch.
Notes
- Thicker texture: The longer the chia pudding chills, the thicker and creamier it becomes.
- Flavor variations: Experiment with warming spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, or cardamom for cozy flavor, or try flavorings like almond or orange blossom essence.
- Customize your layers: Swap guava juice for mango puree, or add a swirl of almond butter or cacao for richness.
