This Raspberry Chia Parfait is a fun and easy nutritious breakfast that is gluten free. Customize to your liking with a variety of fruit and nuts. Great for meal prep too!
I love parfaits for their ease of making, convenience and versatility. When you have plain Greek yogurt as a base, you can combine it with any of your favorite fruits, nuts and spreads to create a winning breakfast!
To make this parfait you will layer yogurt with a simple chia pudding which is just chia seeds mixed with coconut creamer (any type of milk would be fine too). Typically I would sweeten my chia pudding, but it’s not necessary here. Top each layer with raspberry jam, raspberries and almonds, a drizzle of honey and dig in!
Plain Greek yogurt is such a versatile food and I love that it’s packed with protein. The Chia seeds and nuts add extra fiber and protein as well.
I wrote out the measurements for one, but then you can make as many as you’d like. They are great for storing the refrigerator as part of your meal prep. I have made parfaits, even with grains like granola, and the kids take them in their lunch boxes.
You can use a flavored yogurt too, but the jam and honey drizzle will bring plenty of sweetness to the cup.
Off the topic of parfaits, San Antonio has gotten a ton of rain lately which means food photography has been nonexistent. Thankfully I got some nice shots and simple recipes like this done when I went to Foodie Bootcamp!
