Strawberry Chia Yoghurt Parfaits

Sharing is caring!

I've been flavouring the kids yoghurt with chia jams for a while now, but I thought I would share this recipe for Strawberry Chia Yoghurt Parfaits today.

I made this healthy  yoghurt parfait recipe A LOT the other week when my kiddos had sore throats (some of you saw it on my Instagram stories and I had a few messages about wanting the specific recipe so here it is)

The recipe starts by making a basic chia seed jam.

Chia jam is really easy to make, essentially all you need to do is stew some fruit or berries, add a little sweetness (if needed) through in some chia seeds and voila they gel and you end up with a 5 minute jam, perfect for toast or, in this case, perfect to make these Strawberry Chia Yoghurt Parfaits.

Ingredients

• 1 cup strawberries
• 250 millilitres milk one cup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 30 millilitres maple syrup 2 tablespoons
• ¼ cup chia
• 250 grams yoghurt 1 cup
• 1 banana

Instructions

• Blend the strawberries, milk and maple syrup until smooth.
• Pour three-quarters of this strawberry smoothie into a jug or mixing bowl.
• Add the chia seeds to the larger quantity of strawberry smoothie, and mix well. Let this mix sit for 2-3 minutes before stirring again (this will remove any clumps of chia seeds). Spoon this mixture into the bottom of your serving glasses or jar.
• Layer the yoghurt on top of the strawberry chia pudding.

• Add this banana strawberry smoothie to the top of your chia parfaits, and chill for at least 2 hours (or overnight). Enjoy
