Ingredients
Scale
Chia Pudding
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1 cup almond milk
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
Fruit Layers
- 2 kiwis, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced
Topping
- 1/2 cup granola
- Mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the chia pudding: In a bowl, combine chia seeds and almond milk. Stir thoroughly to avoid clumps. Let the mixture sit for at least 30 minutes or refrigerate overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into a pudding-like consistency.
- Layer chia pudding: Once the chia pudding has thickened, spoon a layer into the bottom of a glass or jar, creating a smooth and even base.
- Add kiwi layer: Arrange a layer of sliced kiwis evenly over the chia pudding for a fresh, tangy element.
- Add strawberry layer: Follow with a layer of sliced strawberries to add sweetness and vibrant color.
- Sweeten the fruit layers: Drizzle honey or maple syrup evenly over the fruit layers to enhance the natural flavors and add a touch of sweetness.
- Add granola topping: Sprinkle granola on top for a delightful crunch and texture contrast.
- Repeat layers if desired and garnish: You may repeat the layering process to fill your container and finish by garnishing with fresh mint leaves for an aromatic touch.
- Serve or store: Serve the parfait immediately for optimal freshness, or store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days to enjoy later.
Notes
- For best texture, soak chia seeds overnight.
- Use fresh ripe fruits for the sweetest taste.
- Maple syrup is a good vegan alternative to honey.
- Granola can be substituted with nuts or seeds for variety.
- Keep the parfait refrigerated if not serving right away to maintain freshness.
