Sugar Free Strawberry Chia Parfait
Summertime on a plate, or rather in a glass here. Instead of reaching for the ice cream when the temperature rises, try this healthy dessert instead. I promise you it packs a punch in the flavour department.
This is the perfect dessert for those looking for a healthy sugar-free alternative to the usual sweet summertime puddings.
The chia seeds are packed with protein and with the goodness of strawberries, almond milk, yogurt and almonds you really do have something heavenly and healthy too.
A no cooking recipe!
There is no cooking involved with this little recipe, it is simply a matter of putting things together and allowing time to bring together flavours and make things happen.
Now that’s the sort of ‘cooking’ I like to do on a warm summer day, as little as possible and certainly no slaving over a hot Aga. This is a little recipe for 1 person, just double it up or whatever for more.
Is this strawberry chia parfait healthy?
Yes, yes yes! Chia seeds are packed with protein, add the goodness and vitamins in the strawberries, the almond milk and Greek yogurt too. And there is no sugar in this recipe.
If you haven’t used chia seeds before you will be amazed how they expand and go from tiny dry seeds into an almost tapioca-like dessert.
When to serve this parfait
You can have this sugar-free strawberry chia parfait as a dessert after your meal or if you are feeling really decadent have it for breakfast.
