Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

• 1/2 cup chia seeds
• 2 cups coconut milk (canned or carton)
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
• 2 tablespoons shredded coconut (toasted, optional)

Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, combine chia seeds, coconut milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir well to combine.
2. Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumping.
3. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until the chia pudding thickens.
4. Once set, spoon the chia pudding into serving glasses or bowls, layering it with mixed berries as you go.
5. Top the parfaits with additional berries and sprinkle shredded coconut before serving.

Notes

Tip: Feel free to switch up the fruits based on seasonality. You can use frozen berries if fresh ones aren’t available.

For the chia pudding, make sure to allow it sufficient time to set in the refrigerator—ideally overnight. This ensures the seeds swell up properly, creating a thick and creamy texture. If you’re looking for a sweeter pudding, feel free to add a dash of honey or maple syrup to taste.

You can easily customize your berry medley; try using strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or even tropical fruits like mangoes or kiwis for variety. This parfait can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for up to three days, making it a convenient option for busy mornings!
