Easy Creamy Berry Chia Pudding Parfaits

  • Author: Lena
  • Total Time: 4 hours 10 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings 1x

Description

A quick and healthy breakfast parfait featuring creamy chia pudding layered with fresh berries, perfect for busy mornings or a light snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup (40 grams) chia seeds
  • 1 cup (240 ml) milk (almond, oat, or whole milk)
  • 1/2 cup (120 grams) Greek yogurt (full-fat, or dairy-free coconut yogurt as substitute)
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (150 grams) fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons softened cream cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine chia seeds, milk, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and optional cream cheese. Whisk vigorously to break up lumps and combine well.
  2. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb liquid and thicken into pudding.
  3. Wash and dry fresh berries. Slice larger berries like strawberries into bite-sized pieces. Toss with lemon zest if using.
  4. Spoon a layer of chia pudding into glass jars or parfait glasses, then add a layer of berries. Repeat layers until glasses are full, finishing with berries on top.
  5. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Stir before serving if pudding thickens too much.

Notes

Whisk thoroughly at the start to avoid clumps. Chill for at least 4 hours or overnight for best texture. Stir after 20-30 minutes of chilling to break up clumps. Use full-fat dairy or creamy plant milk for best mouthfeel. Optional cream cheese adds extra creaminess. Add toasted nuts or granola for crunch. Can substitute honey with maple syrup for vegan version.
