Coconut Yogurt Parfait by Connor Haris

Happy Healthy New Year!

This chia-licious Coconut Yogurt Parfait is a fun way to fuel up and get back on track with our 2016 health goals. Big thanks to our favorite male vegan Instagrammer @connorharis for inspiring us with this beautiful creation! Who knew healthy eating could look good and taste even better!?

Ingredients:

• 16 oz. of plain or vanilla flavored coconut yogurt
• Granola of your choice (pairs wonderfully with our Vanilla Almond Chia Granola Clusters)
• 1/3  cup Mamma Chia Organic Black Chia Seeds
• 1 Tbsp. of added sweetener of your choice (optional)
• Mixed berries of your choice

Instructions:

1. Create your chia seed gel by simply mixing 1/3 cup of chia seeds with 8 oz. of water + a tablespoon of any added sweetener you prefer (or 8 oz. milk of your choice for chia pudding), let it sit aside for 15 minutes to let the chia seeds soak and expand into a pudding like consistency.
2. Gather your other ingredients and begin to layer your parfait in any order you desire.
3. Dig in and enjoy!
