Gluten Free Chia Pumpkin Parfait Recipe
While nutrition experts recommend fueling up on small, frequent meals, it's important to make smart choices when it comes to snack time.
“Smart snacking should be three things: nutritious, delicious, and convenient,” says Desiree Nielsen, a registered dietitian. “To make the most of your calories, choose energizing snacks that contain a balance of healthy fats and protein, such as nuts or seeds.”
Ingredients
- 1 cup 2% low-fat milk
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1 cup low-fat plain yogurt
- 1 cup nature's path coconut chia granola cereal
Instructions
- Combine milk with chia seeds; refrigerate overnight or until chia seeds have expanded and milk has pudding-like consistency. Stir pumpkin purée, 2 tbsp of the maple syrup, and pumpkin pie spice into chia mixture.
- Stir yogurt with remaining maple syrup. Layer half of the chia pudding, yogurt and granola evenly in four 8-oz glasses. Repeat layers once, ending with granola.
