Creamy banana chia pudding with parfait

Here’s a delicious Creamy Banana Chia Pudding with Parfait recipe:

Ingredients:

For the Chia Pudding:

• 2 ripe bananas
• 1 ½ cups almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
• ¼ cup chia seeds
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)

For the Parfait Layers:

• 1 cup Greek yogurt (or any yogurt of your choice)
• Fresh fruits (such as berries, banana slices, or kiwi)
• Granola
• Nuts or seeds (optional)

Instructions:

Chia Pudding:

1. Blend the Banana: In a blender, combine the ripe bananas, almond milk, vanilla extract, and honey or maple syrup (if using). Blend until smooth.
2. Mix in Chia Seeds: Pour the banana mixture into a bowl or container. Stir in the chia seeds, making sure they are evenly distributed.
3. Let It Set: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or overnight, to let the chia seeds absorb the liquid and form a pudding-like texture. Stir the mixture after the first 30 minutes to prevent clumping.

Assemble the Parfait:

1. Layer the Ingredients: Once the chia pudding is ready, start layering your parfait. In a glass or bowl, add a layer of chia pudding, followed by a layer of Greek yogurt.
2. Add Fruits and Toppings: Top the yogurt with fresh fruits, granola, and any nuts or seeds you like. Repeat the layers until the glass is filled.
3. Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately or refrigerate for later. It’s a refreshing and nutritious breakfast or snack!
