Strawberry Chia Parfait

Looking for a light yet tasty dessert that’s sugar free and actually good for you too? Well this Strawberry Chia Parfait is the one for you then.

Strawberry Chia Parfait

Summer time 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 summer time 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.

Strawberry Chia Parfait

No cooking!

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.

Chia seeds

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.

You can have this as a dessert after your meal or if you are feeling really decadent have it for breakfast.
