Instructions

Notes
- Prepare the chia pudding the night before to allow the seeds to fully absorb liquid and thicken.
- Add granola topping only right before serving to maintain its crunch.
- Vanilla yogurt adds natural sweetness; if using plain yogurt, consider adding a sweetener like maple syrup or honey.
- Customize flavors by swapping in tropical fruits, cocoa powder, or other toppings as desired.
- Store prepared parfaits covered in the refrigerator for up to five days for convenient servings.
