Ingredients
¾ cup plain yogurt (Greek yogurt for higher protein)
1 tbsp chia seeds
1 tsp honey
½ tsp vanilla extract
¾ cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
Instructions
In a bowl, combine ¾ cup of yogurt, 1 tablespoon of chia seeds, 1 teaspoon of honey, and ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir until well mixed, ensuring the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
Add ¾ cup of mixed berries to a jar or container. Lightly mash them with a fork; if using frozen berries, be sure to thaw them slightly first for easier mashing.
Spoon the yogurt mixture over the prepared berries in your jar or container. Layer it generously to build up the parfait.
Refrigerate your parfait for at least 10 minutes or overnight. This chilling time allows the chia seeds to absorb liquid and thicken the yogurt, enhancing the overall texture.
Once chilled, stir the parfait and add any extra toppings if desired, such as nuts, granola, or additional fruit. Enjoy your nutritious creation!
Notes
Use any mixed berries such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries.
Greek yogurt ensures a higher protein content.
If you prefer a sweeter taste, increase the honey to 1 ½ teaspoons.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
