Ingredients
Scale
Chia Pudding
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1 cup pomegranate juice
Fruit Puree
- 2 cups raspberries
- 2 tsp honey or maple syrup
Other Ingredients
- 1/2 cup yogurt of choice
- Pomegranate seeds and additional raspberries for topping
Instructions
- Prepare chia pudding: In a mixing bowl, combine the chia seeds with pomegranate juice, stirring well to prevent clumps. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the seeds to absorb the liquid and form a gel-like pudding.
- Make raspberry puree: Blend the raspberries together with honey or maple syrup until smooth to create a naturally sweetened fruit puree.
- Assemble the parfait: In small glasses or jars, layer the ingredients starting with a spoonful of chia pudding at the bottom, followed by a layer of yogurt, then the raspberry puree. Repeat these layers until the glass is filled to the top.
- Garnish and serve: Finish by topping each parfait with fresh pomegranate seeds and raspberries for added texture, color, and flavor. Serve immediately or keep refrigerated until ready to enjoy.
Notes
- For a dairy-free option, use plant-based yogurt such as almond, coconut, or soy yogurt.
- Letting chia pudding sit overnight enhances the texture and flavor.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of honey or maple syrup to taste.
- Ensure to stir the chia and juice mixture a few times during the first 10 minutes to avoid clumps.
- This parfait can be prepared a few hours ahead for easy meal prep.
