If you are wanting to make your mornings easier (and more tasty!), make our Strawberries & Cream Chia Parfaits ASAP! Its easy to make, delicious and nutritious. That’s what we call a win-win-win 🙂
To make this all you need is Our Grass Fed Heritage Vanilla Yogurt. (Our natural also substitutes well!), our grass fed milk, strawberries, maple syrup (or honey), vanilla and chia seeds. I love to add a bit of whipped cream to the top also. Its not needed but really makes it taste like strawberries and cream!
The reason our Vanilla Yogurt works so well in this recipe is because there is no added sugar. This means you dont get a super sweet yogurt parfait when you add in the fruit. I think that the touch of maple syrup in the chia layer gives the perfect sweetness, but you can adjust more or less to your liking. (If you are adding the whipping cream this will also add a bit of sweetness)
You can easily prep the parfaits in little jars, or simply keep the container of chia pudding handy in the fridge to make parfaits as you go.
