Ingredients
  

For the Chia Pudding:

1 cup coconut milk (or almond milk)

1/4 cup chia seeds

2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

A pinch of sea salt

For the Berry Layer:

1 cup mixed fresh berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries)

1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup (optional, for added sweetness)

Juice of 1/2 lemon

Fresh mint leaves, for garnish (optional)

For the Topping:

1/4 cup granola (store-bought or homemade)

Additional berries, for garnish

Instructions
 

Make the Chia Pudding:

    - In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt until well combined.

      - Let the mixture sit for approximately 5 minutes. After this time, whisk it again to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed and to prevent clumping.

        - Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight. The chia seeds will absorb the liquid and thicken the mixture to a creamy pudding consistency.

          Prepare the Berry Layer:

            - In a small bowl, combine the mixed fresh berries along with honey or agave syrup (if using) and the lemon juice.

              - Gently toss the berries with the other ingredients to evenly coat them. Allow the mixture to sit for about 10-15 minutes at room temperature. This will help the berries release their natural juices and enhance their flavor.

                Assemble the Parfaits:

                  - Take your serving glasses or jars and start layering the parfaits. Begin with a generous spoonful of chia pudding at the bottom of each glass.

                    - Next, add a layer of the marinated berry mixture, spooning them gently over the chia pudding.

                      - Repeat the layering process until the glasses are filled, finishing with one last layer of chia pudding on top for a neat finish.

                        Add Toppings:

                          - Sprinkle granola over the top layer of chia pudding, providing a delightful crunch with each bite.

                            - For a charming presentation, garnish with additional fresh berries and a few fresh mint leaves on top to add color and freshness.

                              Serve and Enjoy:

                                - Your Berry Bliss Chia Pudding Parfaits are now ready to be enjoyed! Serve them as a refreshing breakfast, a wholesome snack, or a delightful dessert that’s sure to impress.
