Creating Vanilla Bean and Chia Pudding Parfait is easy if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare Chia Pudding:
– In a mixing bowl, combine chia seeds and almond milk. Stir well to avoid clumping.
– Scoop the seeds from the vanilla beans and add them to the mixture. If using vanilla extract, include that now.
– Sweeten the mixture with maple syrup (or honey) and mix until thoroughly combined.

2. Chill:
– Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. The chia seeds will absorb the liquid and thicken.

3. Assemble the Parfait:
– Once the chia pudding has thickened, take it out of the fridge.
– In a glass or bowl, layer chia pudding followed by a layer of fresh fruits, then granola or nuts.
– Repeat the layers until you reach the top of your container. Finish with a layer of fruits and sprinkle with nuts or granola.

4. Serve:
– Optionally, top with a dollop of yogurt for extra creaminess.
– Enjoy immediately or store in the refrigerator for later consumption.

This straightforward process will yield a beautiful and delicious breakfast that is sure to impress!
