Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust based on sweetness preference)

1 cup Greek yogurt (vanilla-flavored or plain)

1/2 cup chia seeds

2 cups almond milk (or milk of choice)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Granola or nuts (for topping)

Extra berries or mint leaves (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Strawberries: In a bowl, combine the sliced strawberries with honey or maple syrup. Toss gently to coat and let them sit for about 10 minutes to release their juices.

    Make the Chia Pudding: In a medium bowl, whisk together chia seeds, almond milk, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Stir until the chia seeds are fully incorporated and the mixture begins to thicken (this will take about 5-10 minutes).

      Layer the Parfaits: Once the chia pudding has thickened, it's time to build your parfaits! In clear glasses or jars, start with a layer of chia pudding (about 1/4 cup).

        Add the Yogurt: On top of the chia layer, add about 1/4 cup of Greek yogurt. Scoop gently to get an even layer.

          Incorporate the Strawberries: Next, spoon in a layer of the honeyed strawberries, ensuring even distribution of both the fruit and its juices.

            Repeat Layers: Repeat the layers until the glasses are filled, finishing with a layer of yogurt and a few strawberry slices on top for a beautiful presentation.

              Top It Off: Sprinkle granola or nuts on top for crunch and garnish with extra berries or fresh mint leaves for a pop of color.

                Chill and Serve: For the best flavors, let the parfaits chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
