Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Chia Pudding
  • 1/2 cup chia seeds
  • 2 cups almond milk or other milk
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup or to taste
For the Watermelon Layer
  • 2 cups cubed watermelon seedless
Optional Toppings
  • 1/4 cup fresh berries e.g. blueberries, raspberries
  • 2 tbsp chopped mint

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Small bowl
  • Whisk
  • Serving glasses

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together chia seeds, almond milk, and maple syrup. Let sit for 5 minutes, then whisk again to break up any clumps.
  2. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until thickened into a pudding consistency.
  3. While the chia pudding chills, blend the cubed watermelon until smooth. You can strain it if you prefer a smoother texture.
  4. To assemble the parfaits, spoon a layer of chia pudding into the bottom of each serving glass.
  5. Top with a layer of blended watermelon.
  6. Repeat the layers until the glasses are full, ending with a layer of watermelon.
  7. Garnish with fresh berries and chopped mint, if desired.

Notes

You can adjust the sweetness of the chia pudding to your preference. For a thicker pudding, use slightly less milk. For a thinner pudding, add a little more milk.
