Ingredients
- 4 cups plain Greek yogurt – I prefer full fat for the protein content & creaminess, but low-fat will work as well
- 1 tsp. vanilla bean paste (you can use vanilla extract, paste is better)
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- about 2 heaping cups fresh or frozen fruit of your choice (we love using whatever seasonal fruit we can get our hands on)
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- Optional: Granola, nuts (such as almonds or walnuts), chocolate chips, shredded coconut, flax seeds, and/or peanut butter for topping.
Instructions
Prepare your Chia Jam:
-
- In a sauce pan, pour in your fresh or frozen fruit. Stir on medium-low heat until the berries begin to break down.
-
- Once your berries have broken down add in the chia seeds and stir until well combined.
-
- Set aside and let cool until you are ready to assemble your parfait.
Prepare your Greek yogurt:
-
- In a small bowl, add in your plain Greek yogurt, vanilla bean paste and honey/maple syrup. Stir well until all of the ingredients are combined.
Assembling your parfait:
- In an 8oz mason jar, add your chia jam at the base, layer with your Greek yogurt mixture and alternate layers of fruit and layers of yogurt one more time. When you are ready to serve, top with some granola, drizzle some peanut butter or your favorite toppings and enjoy!
