Ingredients
  

For the Chia Pudding:

1 cup coconut milk (or almond milk for a nutty twist)

1/4 cup chia seeds

2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey for a floral sweetness)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of sea salt

For the Berry Layer:

1 cup mixed fresh berries (combination of strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries for vibrant color)

1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)

Juice of 1/2 lemon (to brighten and enhance the berry flavors)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional, for an aromatic touch)

For the Topping:

1/4 cup granola (choose your favorite store-bought or homemade)

Additional berries for garnish

Instructions
 

Make the Chia Pudding:

    - In a medium-sized bowl, combine the coconut milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Whisk vigorously until the chia seeds are evenly distributed.

      - Allow the mixture to sit for approximately 5 minutes. Afterward, whisk it again to avoid clumping. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours or overnight. The pudding should thicken to a smooth, creamy consistency.

        Prepare the Berry Layer:

          - In a small mixing bowl, add the fresh mixed berries. If desired, drizzle with honey or agave syrup and squeeze in the juice of half a lemon. Gently toss the berries to ensure they are well coated. Let this mixture sit for about 10-15 minutes to allow the berries to release their natural juices and enhance their taste.

            Assemble the Parfaits:

              - In your chosen serving glasses or jars, start by spooning a few generous layers of the chia pudding into the bottom of each glass.

                - Following the pudding, add a layer of the marinated berry mixture, distributing the berries evenly over the pudding.

                  - Continue layering alternately, ending with a final layer of chia pudding on the top.

                    Add Toppings:

                      - To finish, sprinkle a handful of granola atop the last layer of chia pudding, providing a satisfying crunch to the parfait.

                        - Garnish with additional fresh berries and a few mint leaves to add a pop of color and flavor.

                          Serve and Enjoy:

                            - Your Berry Bliss Chia Pudding Parfaits are now beautifully assembled and ready to serve! Relish these wholesome treats as a refreshing breakfast, a healthy snack, or an indulgent dessert.
