Ingredients & Substitutions

Chia seeds are high in omega-3 fatty acids and fiber, making them a great addition to any diet. You can substitute almond milk with any other plant-based milk of your choice, such as soy or oat milk. Use seasonal berries for the best flavor.

Tips & Notes

•For a creamier texture, blend the almond milk and chia seeds together before refrigerating.
•Experiment with different sweeteners such as agave nectar or date syrup.

Recipe Variations

•Add a layer of coconut yogurt for a creamier parfait.
•Incorporate nuts or seeds between the layers for added crunch and nutrition.

Storage & Freezing

Store any leftover parfait in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The granola may become soggy over time, so it's best to add it just before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this parfait ahead of time?
