Pomegranate Chia Parfaits are a vibrant, nutritious breakfast or snack featuring creamy chia pudding layered with juicy pomegranate seeds, yogurt, and crunchy toppings. Naturally vegan and gluten-free, they’re perfect for meal prep or a refreshing treat.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1 cup milk of choice (almond, oat, coconut, dairy, etc.)
  • 1–2 tsp maple syrup or honey (optional, to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or plant-based yogurt (optional, for layering)
  • 2 tbsp granola or crushed nuts (for topping)
  • Fresh mint (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl or jar, combine chia seeds, milk, maple syrup (if using), and vanilla extract.
  2. Stir well, then let sit for 5 minutes. Stir again to break up clumps.
  3. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight until thickened.
  4. When ready to serve, layer chia pudding in a glass or jar with Greek yogurt (if using) and pomegranate seeds.
  5. Repeat layers until the jar is full.
  6. Top with granola, nuts, and a few extra pomegranate seeds. Garnish with fresh mint if desired.
  7. Serve chilled.

Notes

  • Let chia pudding sit overnight for the best consistency.
  • Add granola just before serving to prevent it from getting soggy.
  • Use coconut milk for a richer texture and flavor.
  • Can be made dairy-free and vegan with plant-based milk and yogurt.
  • Store assembled parfaits up to 2 days; chia pudding alone up to 4 days.
