Chia pudding is all the rage in the health arena. Chia seeds are high in Omega 3 fatty acids, protein, fiber, anti-oxidants and calcium. This yummy chia pudding parfait is not only delicious but also nutritious! It is perfect as a dessert or a breakfast treat. I used Chocolate Coconut Whipped Cream in this recipe and it tasted heavenly! Plain Coconut Whipped Cream would also be yummy!
This recipe makes two servings. Next time I am doubling the recipe!!! I served this to my husband and son and I regret not making more of it! I just had a measly spoonful as I gazed at my husband and son licking their spoons while eating their tantalizing dessert.
Tonight I will be soaking chia seeds in my fridge and having this for breakfast with fresh fruit. Chia seeds can be a bit bland so layering it with fruit and coconut cream brings all the flavors together. There is a lot going on in this parfait but everything works together perfectly!
I used to buy the chia pudding cups from Whole Foods but from now on, I will be making my own! Please share your favorite version of chia pudding below.

My partner and I stumbled over here coming from a different website and thought I may as well check things out.
I like what I see so now i am following you. Look forward
to checking out your web page for a second time.
Excellent blog! Do you have any tips and hints
for aspiring writers? I’m planning to start my own blog soon but
I’m a little lost on everything. Would you
suggest starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There
are so many options out there that I’m totally confused ..
Any ideas? Appreciate it!
Thank you! I have learned a lot from
Food Blogger Pro. I will be posting a section for Food Bloggers where I give tips on how to photograph, DIY table tops and tips on blogging. I do suggest buying your own domain and hosting. Also, if you get a theme specifically for food blogging it will be much easier for visitors to print recipes. This is my second blog and my first one crashed and thank GOD I was able to save everything! Thanks to my Mom who is a computer tech & The Marketing Maven Queen!!! It’s great to have someone who can support you with all the glitches that can come up. I don’t know what I would do without all her help! Just get started and keep blogging, you will learn as you go along. Also, write what you are most passionate about!! Blessings & Best of Luck!! EsterHey there! This post could not be written any
better! Reading this post reminds me of my good old
room mate! He always kept talking about this.
I will forward this article to him. Fairly certain he will have a good read.
Many thanks for sharing!
