Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Chia Pudding
  • 1/2 cup chia seeds
  • 2 cups almond milk or other milk
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup or to taste
For the Watermelon Layer
  • 2 cups cubed watermelon seedless
For the Fruit Layer
  • 1 cup mixed berries fresh or frozen

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring cups
  • Measuring spoons
  • Small bowls
  • Serving glasses

Method
 

  1. Make the chia pudding: In a bowl, whisk together chia seeds, almond milk, and maple syrup. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then whisk again to break up any clumps. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until thickened.
  2. Prepare the watermelon: Blend the cubed watermelon until smooth. You can strain it if you prefer a smoother consistency, but it's not necessary.
  3. Assemble the parfaits: In serving glasses, layer the ingredients. Start with a layer of chia pudding, followed by a layer of blended watermelon, and then a layer of mixed berries. Repeat the layers until the glasses are full.
  4. Serve immediately or chill for later.

Notes

You can add other fruits like mango, pineapple, or peaches to the fruit layer. A sprinkle of granola on top adds a nice crunch.
