Servings: 4
Ingredients
Chia jam:
- 8 ounces frozen raspberries
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons honey
Yogurt Parfait:
- 4 cups plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup peanut butter plus more as desired
- Toppings: granola + fresh raspberries
Instructions
- Make the chia jam: Add raspberries, honey, and lemon juice to a saucepan over heat. Stir regularly to prevent burning. Cook for 5-8 minutes to break down the berries. Remove from heat, stir in chia seeds, and allow to thicken for at least 10 minutes.
- In 4 individual jars, layer Greek yogurt, ~2 tbsp of chia jam, and then drizzle with PB and any other toppings you love like berries or granola.
Notes
- Let the jam cool slightly. This helps the layers stay creamy and thick.
- Add granola just before serving. This keeps the texture crunchy.
- Greek yogurt works best. It is thicker, creamier, and higher in protein than regular yogurt.
- Customize to your taste. Use different berries, nut butters, or toppings depending on what you have on hand.
- Storage: Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Nutrition information: Will vary depending on toppings used.
