Ingredients
  

1 cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice)

1/4 cup chia seeds

2 tablespoons maple syrup (adjust to taste)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)

1/2 cup Greek yogurt (optional for creaminess)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Granola for topping (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chia Pudding: In a mixing bowl, combine the almond milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until well mixed and the chia seeds are evenly distributed.

    Let it Set: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight, allowing the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and create a pudding-like consistency.

      Prepare the Berries: While the chia pudding is setting, wash and slice the berries as needed. If using strawberries, cut them into thin slices or quarters.

        Layer the Parfaits: Once the chia pudding is ready, take a serving glass or jar and start layering. Begin with a generous layer of chia pudding, then add a layer of mixed berries, followed by a layer of Greek yogurt (if using).

          Repeat Layers: Continue layering until the glass is filled, finishing with a layer of berries on top.

            Garnish: Sprinkle some granola over the top for added crunch, and add a few fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and flavor.

              Serve and Enjoy: These parfaits can be served immediately or kept in the fridge for a couple of hours for a refreshing treat later!
