Green Chia Parfait with Spirulina, Yogurt & Fruits can be a delicious dessert, snack or breakfast. It is also full of nutrients and highly satisfying.
We are in the second half of February, thank goodness! I am literally counting the days, because the weather here in Toronto is unbearable. It’s snows at night, then it melts at day time, the sky is mostly gloomy so it’s mess, lol. I need to see some colors in nature again, but in the meantime, I am just making some colourful food to make me feel better.
What do you think about this beautiful green color of green spirulina? Although it is practically tasteless, it is full of vitamins and minerals. Just follow this link if you would like to learn more about the Health Benefits of Spirulina.
The combination of chia pudding and yogurt was also a great idea, especially the Chobani brand. This was actually the first time I tried it, because usually I go for So Delicious. Anyway, they are both heavenly and I highly recommend!
However, they are may ways you can make healthy superfood parfaits and I have several recipes on my SMOOTHIES & BREAKFAST page. They are all delicious and easy to make.
Nevertheless, you can be creative and come up with your own combination. Making delicious and healthy parfaits is not only easy, but it is so much fun as well. Let me know how yours turned out, I would love to hear about it!
