How to Make Our High-Protein Raspberry Chia Yogurt Parfait
Step 1: Prepare the Chia Pudding
In a small bowl, whisk together the chia seeds, almond milk, honey, and vanilla extract. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, stir again, then refrigerate for at least 20–30 minutes until thickened.
Step 2: Mix the Yogurt
In another bowl, combine the Greek yogurt with honey and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Layer the Parfait
Grab two glasses or jars and begin layering. Start with a spoonful of chia pudding, then add the creamy yogurt mixture. Repeat the layers until the jars are filled.
Step 4: Add Fresh Berries
Top with fresh raspberries and any additional toppings you enjoy. For extra crunch, add a sprinkle of granola right before serving.
Step 5: Chill and Enjoy
Serve immediately or refrigerate for a colder, thicker texture. This healthy high-protein parfait tastes even better after a few hours in the fridge.
