Blueberry Chia Parfait
/Chia seeds are excellent when trying to create a healthy dessert or breakfast because they are fiber-rich and nutritious, and thicken a pudding without the need for starches. Consider pre-assembling several of these and leaving them in the fridge for when you need a quick sweet treat or breakfast.
To make this recipe super simple, I recommend using Just About Foods Organic Chia Packets. When I made this I used two chia packs per parfait and it was the perfect amount.
