Chia pudding is all the rage now and for good reason. These little wonders are filled with nutrition and filled with protein and omega-3. Plus, they’re very filling. I took the basic chia pudding idea and adding in a smoothie topping to create a parfait style treat that can be eaten for breakfast or dessert.

Step-by-Step instructions below…

Ingredients

For the Chia Pudding

• ½ cup unsweetend almond milk (or any milk of your choice such as oat milk or dairy)
• 2½ tbsp. dry chia seeds
• 1 tbsp. goji berries
• 1 tbsp. plain Greek yogurt

For the Green Smoothie Layer

• 1 cup frozen pineapple
• 2 tbsp. almond butter
• 1 cup unsweetend almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
• 1 pitted date
• 2 handfuls of spinach
• 1 celery stalk
• ¼ cup parsley (including stems)

For the Garnish

• Raspberries
• Hemp seeds

Instructions

Make the chia pudding: Mix the almond milk (or milk of your choice) with the chia seeds and goji berries. Stir well and leave in the refigerator overnight. The next day, mix-in the yogurt for extra creaminess.

Make the green smoothie layer: Blend the ingredients for the smoothie together in a blender the next day when you want to serve.

Combine: Pour the chia pudding into serving cups. Then pour the smoothie layer into the cup on top of the chia pudding. Garnish with the raspberries and hemp seeds.
