Perfect for snacking, breakfast or dessert, this healthy yogurt chia pudding is simple and easy to make, and a delicious way to get the goodness in. This parfait is layered with vanilla yogurt, chia pudding and fresh berries for one tasty bite.
NGREDIENTS & SUBSTITUTIONS
Yogurt: Use a full fat yogurt that will keep its texture to support the rest of the ingredients. It also has a creamier flavor compared to low fat. Vanilla yogurt is perfect here, but you can use other flavors if you prefer.
Chia pudding: Use this chia pudding recipe to make this layer. Make it the day before to allow it to set.
Fruit: Use fresh blueberries and fresh strawberries with the pudding and it helps to slice the strawberries small so that they are easy to eat. Let the strawberries sit in sugar to macerate them before adding; this will help to make them softer and sweeter. Any fruits will work well in this parfait; banana, raspberries and mango are all great choices.
TIPS FOR MAKING THE PUDDING
Make the chia pudding the day before. Chia pudding needs at least a couple hours to set and best if prepared overnight. Having the chia pudding ready will make it easier to assemble.
Macerate the berries.This is the process of soaking or marinating the strawberries in sugar. It makes the berries softer and releases its juices to make the pudding more unique.
Use full fat yogurt. Because you’re creating layers with the yogurt, berries and chia pudding, it’s easier to use full fat yogurt that doesn’t separate as easily from the excess moisture.
Make it your own! It’s so easy to make this yogurt chia pudding to suit your tastes. Use any fruits you like, and drizzle with some maple syrup or honey for some sweetness. Top with some chopped nuts like almonds or pecans, or sprinkle on some chocolate chips.
