Berry Chia Parfait

This breakfast is light and refreshing and honestly it would even work as an afternoon snack or even a healthy dessert. I love starting my morning knowing I'm filling my belly with the healthy probiotics found in yogurt. It sets a healthy yet yummy tone for the rest of the day. 

 

Berry Chia Parfait

Serves 2

Ingredients

1 cup unsweetened almond milk {I use almond milk for it's lightness but you can use cows milk or even coconut milk would be delicious}

1 cup plain whole milk yogurt {or 2% greek yogurt}

1 tablespoon pure local honey

1 1/2 tablespoons pure maple syrup

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/8 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup chia seeds

1 1/2 cups of berries {if using strawberries dice them}

1/4 cup raw or toasted and sliced almonds

Instructions 

In a medium bowl gently mix together the milk, yogurt, honey, vanilla and salt until blended. Gently stir in the chia seeds. Cover and refrigerate overnight or for a minimum of one hour.

When ready to serve, in a medium bowl, mix the berries with the maple syrup.

Spoon the parfait mixture into 2 bowls or stemmed wine glasses and then top with the berries and sprinkle with the sliced almonds. 

Enjoy!

Love,
