OVERNIGHT BERRY & CHIA PARFAIT

A protein packed super simple breakfast overnight berry & chia parfait. Perfect to have on the go.

Ingredients- Serves 2

For the parfait

350ml of your favourite milk

100g dark berries (use a mix of blackcurrants,

raspberries, strawberries and blueberries) 

6 tablespoons chia seeds

1 tablespoon raw coconut oil

Drizzle of maple syrup or raw honey

1 tablespoon raw coconut oil (optional

To serve (any or all of the following)

Small handful of fresh berries Your favourite yoghurt

Seeds from 1⁄2 pomegranate

2 tablespoons shelled hemp seeds Cacao nibs

Chopped nuts

Step 1

Put all the ingredients for the parfait into a blender and blitz until thoroughly combined. Spoon one third of the mixture into the bottom of a glass and another third into the bottom of a second glass and the remaining third into a spare small container. Put all three in the fridge to set overnight.

This makes a great breakfast (or a yummy snack), sooo delicious and it will give you a bumper start to the day. If I have a super early start (life as a PT) I don’t always like to eat first thing so this is an ideal way to have a healthy breakfast on the go. Sometimes I make this the night before and put it in the fridge in a small jar which has a tight-fitting lid, allowing enough room at the top to add yoghurt and fruit once the parfait has set. That makes it really easy to have breakfast to go.

Step 2

When you are ready to eat this glass of delicious goodness, take both glasses from the fridge, sprinkle over some berries, then layer some yoghurt, then half the remaining third chia parfait into each glass.Top with more fresh fruit and any of the suggested toppings.
