¼ cup chia seeds
½ cup plain 2% Greek yogurt feel free to use vanilla Greek yogurt and adjust the sweetener to taste
½ cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice. I love these with Fairlife whole milk for an extra creamy texture and protein boost
1 tablespoon real maple syrup you can also use honey, or stevia to taste
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
pinch salt
⅓ cup blueberries
⅓ cup strawberries
⅓ cup raspberries
optional: extra drizzle of maple syrup to garnish

In a medium-size bowl, whisk together the chia seeds, yogurt, milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until blended.
Divide the mixture between two parfait dishes or small mason jars.
Cover, refrigerate, and chill for at least 2 hours or overnight to set.
Right before serving, give it a good stir and top with fresh berries and a drizzle of maple syrup, if desired.

*Using Fairlife milk adds another 3 grams of protein per serving.

Add more or less maple syrup to adjust the yogurt’s sweetness. You can also enhance the sweetness by using flavored Greek yogurt like vanilla, mixed berries, or lemon and adding warming dessert spices like cinnamon and nutmeg.

It’s worth noting that the chia seeds will continue to absorb moisture and soften the longer the yogurt sits, so it’s best to serve chia pudding parfaits within a day or two of making it.
