Make-Ahead Chia Pudding Parfaits
These breakfast cups make for a nourishing, balanced breakfast. Just mix them up at least 2 hours ahead to allow time for the pudding to set and chill. If you make them on a Sunday evening, you’ll be set for the coming week. Add 1/2 teaspoon matcha green tea powder to each chia pudding cup for a morning energy, brain, and metabolism boost.
Servings: 5 servings
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups non-dairy milk
- 5 Tbsp chia seeds
- 5 tsp unrefined sugar, or maple syrup, optional
- 5 cups berries, or other fruit, cut into bite-size pieces
- 2 1/2 cups Spiced Cranberry-Almond Granola
Instructions
- In each of 5 single-serving jars or containers, combine 1/2 cup milk, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, and 1 teaspoon sugar (if using). Stir to combine.

Notes
SUBSTITUTION TIP: Swap the chia pudding for mashed banana (use 1 per parfait) or nondairy yogurt (½ cup per parfait).
You could also try this with Peanut Butter–Chocolate Chip Granola, Fruity Oil-Free Granola, or a store-bought granola.
