How to make mango vanilla chia seed parfait

  • Chia seeds: They’re the base of chia seed pudding, which provides a gelatinous, tapioca pudding-like texture when mixed with the rest of the pudding ingredients.
  • Milk: Any plain or vanilla milk works well.
  • Vanilla: A little extract to make the pudding vanilla.
  • Mango: Frozen mango chunks are perfect for the mango puree.
  • Sweetener: I prefer a little sweetener added to the mango puree.
  • Berries and mint: A fresh topping for the parfait.
