Fruit and Chia Pudding Parfait

It’s really hard to mess up recipes involving fruit and granola. I understand the texture of Chia seed pudding, isn’t for everyone. If the texture has disappointed you in the past, this time try blending it into a smooth and creamy pudding.

These parfaits make for a breakfast-on-the-go option, but let’s be real, you’re not going anywhere for the foreseeable future. These can also be enjoyed as a healthy snack or dessert as well.
