Berry Chia Parfait Recipe
This delicious Berry Chia Parfait Recipe will hit the spot, whether you're looking for a quick and easy nutritious dessert, or you want to treat yourself to something more decadent for breakfast.
Chia Seeds
Despite their minute size, chia seeds are one of those not-to-be-forgotten superfoods.
Not only are they loaded with protein, fibre and omega 3, they also have this unique gelling ability, due to their soluble fibre content.
If you didn't know, the outer shell of a chia seed can absorb 10 times their weight in liquid. Explains why it's a superfood, right.
Berries
Berries are another superfood. And while their ripe taste will fool your body into feeling sweet-satisfied, berries are low in natural sugars
Together with some healthy granola for added crunchiness, this Berry Chia Parfait Recipe is one dish you can confidently dive into without feeling guilty.
