Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Chia Pudding
  • 1 cup milk of choice dairy or non-dairy
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt or vanilla
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup to taste
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt optional
Parfait Layers
  • 1 cup strawberries sliced
  • 1 large banana sliced
  • 1/2 cup granola add right before serving

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • 2 jars or lidded containers

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, whisk milk, yogurt, chia seeds, honey (or maple), vanilla, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
  2. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then whisk again to break up any chia clumps.
  3. Cover and refrigerate until thickened, at least 2 hours (overnight is best).
  4. Slice strawberries and banana. If prepping ahead, slice banana closer to serving to reduce browning.
  5. Layer chia pudding with fruit in two jars or cups.
  6. Top with granola right before eating so it stays crunchy.

Notes

Make-ahead: Store chia pudding base up to 4 days. Assemble parfaits for 2–3 days, but keep granola separate.
Too thick? Stir in a splash of milk to loosen.
Swap: Use blueberries, mango, or peaches instead of strawberries.
