Tropical Coconut Chia Pudding Parfait

At this point everyone has their version of a chia pudding. So here is ours! Creamy, dreamy layers of coconut, mango, banana bring beach side vibes.

I typically make the Coconut Chia pudding as soon as I unpack groceries. So by the time I’m done dinner or meal prepping for the week the base has come together. I then prep all the parfaits for the week. By adding a layer of berries not only are you getting that extra punch of antioxidants in this dish, the berries keep the top layer of nuts and seeds dry and crunchy.

Ingredients

Chia Pudding

• 1 13.5 oz can light coconut milk (we found Whole Foods brand works best)
• 5 oz coconut water (harmless harvest brand, found at Whole Foods or Wegmans is the best)
• 1 cup chia seeds
• 1 cup shredded coconut
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• pinch of sea salt

Tropical Fruit Layer

• 2 bananas
• 1 cup frozen mango

Toppings

• non-dairy yogurt (we love, GT's CocoYo Pure and Kite Hill Plain almond milk yogurt )
• mixed berries
• walnuts, brazil nuts (any nuts you have on hand)
• pumpkin or hemp seeds
• drizzle of honey, agave or maple syrup (optional)

Instructions

To Make the Chia Pudding

1. In a medium bowl with a lid add the can of lite coconut milk and coconut water.
2. Mix in chia seeds, shredded coconut, pinch of sea salt and vanilla to coconut milk and water and whisk together. Be sure to mix well so the chia doesn't clump together.
3. Cover and refrigerate 4 hours to overnight.

Fruit Layer

1. Once the chia pudding is set, to a blender add the banana, mango and a splash of water. Blend until smooth. 

To finish

1. In individual containers (I use the 2 cup size glass containers or mason jars) divide the banana and mango evenly.
2. Next, add a layer of chia pudding dividing evenly.
3. Then, add a layer of non-dairy yogurt.
4. Next layer berries, finally top with chopped nuts, seeds, and a drizzle of honey if using.
