Recipe
Chocolate Chia Pudding Parfaits
Equipment
- 2 mason jars
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond milk (240 mL)
- 1-2 teaspoon maple syrup (10mL) or to taste
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 tablespoon chia seeds (48g)
- 1 teaspoon cocoa powder
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- pinch fine sea salt
Fruit Yogurt Layer
- 1 ½ cups low fat Greek yogurt (340g) unsweetened
- ½ cup frozen cherries or berries (80g) defrosted
Optional Toppings
- whipped cream oat milk or coconut milk
- mini chocolate chips we used stevia sweetened chips
- peanut butter or almond butter drizzle
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the almond milk, honey, vanilla extract, chia seeds, cocoa powder, and cinnamon.
- Let the chia pudding set for 5 minutes and stir it again. This is to prevent clumping of the chia seeds.
- Divide between two jars or small bowls. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight.
Make a Yogurt Layer (optional)
- Blend the defrosted fruit in a blender.
- Combine the blended fruit and Greek yogurt. Divide it evenly between the two chia seed puddings.
- Top with optional garnishes like whipped cream, mini chocolate chips, fruit, granola, peanut or almond butter, or nuts. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- The recipe makes 2 chia puddings, you can cut this in half to make 1 portion, or feel free to double it to make 4 puddings.
- Instead of making a fruit layer, you can also use fruit flavored yogurt from the store. Or you can skip the yogurt entirely, and just make chocolate chia pudding.
- For best results, blend the fruit separately from the yogurt and mix it in, Greek yogurt turns runny when blended.
- These will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days. Add the garnishes when you're ready to serve them.
