Ingredients

• 1/2 cup Chia Seeds

• 2 tablespoons Almond Butter
• 1 Banana (sliced)
• 1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon

Instructions

1. 1

   In a medium bowl, whisk together the chia seeds, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon and salt.

2. 2

   Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then whisk again to break up any clumps.

3. 3

   Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, stirring occasionally to ensure even thickening.

4. 4

   While the chia pudding is chilling, prepare the fruit by washing and slicing the berries and banana. Toss berries with lemon juice to avoid browning.

   Once the chia pudding has thickened, layer it into parfait glasses or jars. Start with a layer of chia pudding, then a layer of berries and banana, followed by a sprinkle of granola and coconut.

6. 6

   Drizzle a small amount of almond butter over the granola.

7. 7

   Repeat the layers until the glasses are full, finishing with granola and a few berries on top.
