Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh raspberries (plus extra for topping)

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust based on sweetness preference)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice)

1/4 cup chia seeds

1 cup Greek yogurt (or dairy-free alternative)

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Granola for layering and topping

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare Raspberry Sauce: In a small saucepan, combine the fresh raspberries, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Heat over medium heat, stirring gently until the raspberries break down and release their juices, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.

    Make Chia Pudding: In a bowl, whisk together almond milk and chia seeds. Stir in cinnamon and a pinch of salt. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to swell and thicken the mixture.

      Layer the Parfaits: In serving glasses or bowls, start by adding a layer of chia pudding at the bottom. Next, add a layer of the raspberry sauce followed by a dollop of Greek yogurt. Repeat the layers until the glasses are filled, finishing with a layer of yogurt on top.

        Add Crunch and Garnish: Sprinkle a generous amount of granola on top of each parfait for added texture. Top with a few fresh raspberries and a mint leaf for an extra fresh touch.

          Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately as a refreshing breakfast or a light dessert!
