Description

This Rainbow Chia Pudding Parfait is a vibrant, nutritious, and delicious layered treat featuring creamy chia pudding, fresh colorful fruits, and optional crunchy granola. Packed with fiber and omega-3 from chia seeds and naturally sweetened with maple syrup, it’s a perfect healthy dessert or breakfast option that is easy to prepare and visually stunning.

Ingredients

Chia Pudding Base

  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Fresh Fruit Layers

  • 1/2 cup strawberries, chopped
  • 1/2 cup blueberries
  • 1/2 cup mango, diced

Optional Add-in

  • 1/2 cup granola (your favorite kind)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chia Base: In a medium bowl, combine chia seeds, coconut milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir well until the mixture is fully combined. Let it sit for about 10 minutes, allowing the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken to a pudding-like consistency.
  2. Layer the Fruit: While the chia pudding sets, chop the strawberries, blueberries, and mango into bite-sized pieces. Arrange them in separate bowls to prepare for layering.
  3. Assemble Your Parfait: Using glasses or jars, start by adding a layer of the chia pudding at the bottom. Follow with a layer of chopped fruit. Repeat these layers until you reach the top of your container.
  4. Add Crunch (if using): For extra texture, sprinkle granola between some layers as you build your parfait. This adds a delightful crunch to contrast the creamy pudding and fresh fruit.
  5. Chill and Serve: Place your assembled parfaits in the refrigerator for about 1 hour. This chilling step allows the flavors to meld and the parfait to set perfectly.
  6. Enjoy! Grab a spoon and enjoy your colorful, healthy rainbow chia pudding parfait. Snap a photo to share this impressive treat with friends!

Notes

  • Use full-fat coconut milk for a creamier pudding, but light versions will work if preferred.
  • Adjust maple syrup sweetness to your taste.
  • Feel free to substitute or add any other colorful fruits you like such as kiwi, raspberries, or pineapple.
  • Granola is optional but recommended for added texture and crunch.
  • Parfaits can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; fresh fruit is best added fresh before serving.
