It wouldn’t be customary to start a New Year without sharing a green smoothie right? This chia pudding parfait combines with my favorite topical green mango smoothie I shared forever ago. But with a spin on it, I used pineapple juice in place of coconut water. You could also use orange juice if you’d like or go crazy and use both!
Point being – you’re getting in greens and eating pudding. What’s not to love here? To make it super decadent I used full fat coconut milk but you can use any non-dairy milk in it’s place. To make it pure white, you guessed it – I used Vitacost’s white chia seeds. Definitely recommend stocking up on them. Chia seeds are an amazing source of omega-3 fatty acids, fiber and iron. They help your overall digestion too.
I love to keep chia pudding on hand in the fridge for quick snacks. Throw in some berries, coconut flakes and/or almonds and you’re good to go. It’s a great no-hassle option for kiddos as well. No-baking required! that’s a win-win for sure.
