Neapolitan Chia-Banana Parfait

This is as much a dessert as it is a breakfast. Seriously, when’s the last time you had dessert for breakfast, and didn’t feel guilty about it? These parfaits taste like a decadent frozen dessert, but only involve layers of overnight chia-seed pudding, frozen banana cream, and an array of mix-ins (or you can also plop everything in a bowl if you prefer not to layer them).

⅓ cup rolled oats

1 cup unsweetened soy or almond milk

1 tbsp chia seeds

1 ripe banana, mashed

¼ tsp pure vanilla extract

1 pinch salt

Raspberry Cream

1 frozen banana

4 fresh raspberries

Chocoate Cream

1 frozen banana

2 tsp cocoa powder

Optional Toppings

chopped fruit

nut butter

unsweetened coconut flakes

toasted nuts

granola

jam

Mix the ingredients in a bowl and place in the fridge overnight.

The next day, layer the chia-banana mixture with raspberry and/or chocolate cream and sprinkle with additional fruit and granola, if desired.
