Ingredients
- 2 (5.3 oz) containers vanilla nonfat or 2% Greek yogurt or Icelandic skyr
- 1 cup milk, any type
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- 2 cups assorted fresh berries like blueberries, raspberries, strawberries and blackberries
- ¼ cup granola
Instructions
- Whisk the yogurt (or skyr), milk and chia seeds together in a large bowl. Cover and refrigerate overnight until it forms into a pudding.
- When ready to assemble the parfaits, place about 1 cup of the berries in a bowl and mash them with a fork (or puree them in a mini food processor).
- To assemble the parfaits, place a layer of chia pudding in the bottom of a glass or mason jar and top it with a layer of berry puree and 1 tablespoon of granola. Repeat the layers. Top the parfaits with fresh berries.

Notes
- These chia pudding parfaits will keep for about 5 days in the fridge so make a batch on the weekend and enjoy them throughout the week. If using crunchy toppings like granola, sprinkle them on just before serving so that they don't get soft. I use vanilla flavored yogurt in this recipe, which is already sweetened. You can use plain yogurt but then will probably have to add a little sweetener like maple syrup or honey. Experiment with different fruits, nuts, and flavors to create your own unique chia pudding parfaits. Instead of berries and granola, try a tropical version by layering chia pudding with diced pineapple, sliced banana, and shredded coconut. If you're a chocolate fan, mix some cocoa powder into the chia pudding. Then, layer it with sliced bananas and peanut butter. Top with a few chocolate chips for an extra indulgent touch.
