Berry and Chia Pudding Parfait

Ingredients


¼ cup chia seeds

1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk of your choice)

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Sweetener of choice to taste (eg., stevia, erythritol, or a sugar-free syrup)


For the Berry Layer

2 cups mixed berries (fresh or frozen and thawed - such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries)

Sweetener of choice to taste, if desired (optional)


For the Topping

Granola or chopped nuts (optional, ensure it's sugar-free if you want to keep the recipe sugar-free)

Additional berries for garnish




Method


Sugar-free and Plant based recipe.

*This Berry and Chia Pudding Parfait is incredibly versatile. Feel free to adjust the layers and toppings to your liking. For example, you can add a layer of natural yogurt for extra creaminess or substitute the berries with other fruits according to the season.



Prepare the Chia Pudding: In a medium bowl, whisk together the chia seeds, almond milk, vanilla extract, and sweetener (if using). Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes, then stir again to break up any clumps. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight, until it has thickened and has a pudding-like consistency.

Prepare the Berry Layer: If using fresh berries, wash and chop them as necessary (halve strawberries, for instance). If you're using frozen berries, let them thaw and drain any excess liquid. You can leave the berries whole or lightly mash them with a fork for a saucier texture. Sweeten to taste if desired.

Assemble the Parfaits: Take two glasses or jars and begin layering your parfaits. Start with a layer of chia pudding, followed by a layer of berries. Repeat the layers until the glasses are filled, finishing with a layer of berries on top.

Add the toppings: Sprinkle the top of each parfait with granola or chopped nuts for a bit of crunch, and garnish with a few whole berries.

Serve: Enjoy the parfaits immediately, or cover and refrigerate them for up to 24 hours. This dessert is packed with fiber, antioxidants, and healthy fats from the chia seeds.
