"Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1 cup almond milk (unsweetened)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- A pinch of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1 banana, sliced
- Handful of granola
- A sprinkle of coconut flakes
Directions:
1. In a bowl or mason jar, mix together chia seeds, almond milk, honey/maple syrup, salt, and vanilla extract. Once the ingredients are well combined, let it sit for 5 minutes, give it another stir to break up any clumps of chia seeds, cover and put the mixture in the fridge to set for 1-2 hours or overnight.
2. The chia pudding should be nice and thick, not liquidy. If it's not thick enough, add more chia seeds, stir and refrigerate for another 30 minutes or so.
3. When ready to serve, alternate layers of chia pudding, mixed berries, banana slices, and granola into a glass or jar. Repeat the layers until all of the ingredients are used up.
4. Top the parfait with a sprinkle of coconut flakes for added texture and flavor.
Cooking time: 2 hours (mostly waiting for the chia seeds to absorb the almond milk)

Chia seeds are a superfood packed with fiber, protein, and omega-3 fatty acids. They are known to support heart and digestive health. The use of almond milk instead of regular milk makes this pudding parfait a great choice for those on a dairy-free or vegan diet. The natural sweetness of honey or maple syrup, mixed berries, and banana means there's no need for added sugar. Granola adds a lovely crunch to the pudding parfait and coconut flakes give a tropical twist.
Tip: To make it even more nutritious, you can add a spoonful of protein powder to the chia pudding mixture before refrigerating.
The beauty of this recipe is its versatility. You can substitute almond milk with any other plant-based milk like coconut or soy. Similarly"
