Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and diced

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust for sweetness)

1 cup almond milk (or any milk of choice)

1/4 cup chia seeds

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup granola (your favorite kind)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Strawberries: In a small bowl, toss the diced fresh strawberries with 1 tablespoon of honey (or maple syrup). Let them sit for about 10-15 minutes to allow the juices to release.

    Make the Chia Pudding: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the almond milk, chia seeds, 1 tablespoon of honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Mix well to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed.

      Let it Set: Cover the chia mixture and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results. The chia seeds will absorb the liquid and create a thick pudding-like consistency.

        Assemble the Parfaits: In serving glasses or bowls, layer the chia pudding, marinated strawberries, and granola. Start with a layer of chia pudding at the bottom, followed by a layer of strawberries, and then a layer of granola. Repeat the layers until you reach the top of the glass.

          Garnish: Top with a few extra strawberry pieces, a sprinkle of granola, and a mint leaf for a fresh touch.

            Serve: Enjoy your Sweet Strawberry Chia Parfaits immediately, or store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. These make a delightful breakfast or a healthy dessert!
