Tie-Dye Tropical Turmeric Chia Parfait
Ingredients
For the chia pudding:
- ½ cup chopped pineapple
- ¾ cup almond milk
- ⅓ cup unsweetened coconut yogurt
- 3 ½ tablespoon chia seeds
- 3 tablespoon gluten-free rolled oats
- 2 tablespoon unsweetened shredded coconut plus extra for garnish
- 1 tablespoon vanilla protein powder
- ¼ tablespoon ground turmeric
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- toasted buckwheat and shredded coconut for garnish
For the layers:
- ½ cup blackberries
- ½ cup blueberries
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut yogurt
Instructions
- Place pineapple into a blender and blend until liquid.
- Place the pineapple and all remaining chia pudding ingredients into a bowl and mix until fully combined. Cover and place in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
- Once the chia pudding has sat overnight, get your favourite glass jars ready for layering. Put a layer of pudding, followed by the coconut yogurt and then the fruit. Repeat the layers again, ending with the fruit. Top with a sprinkle of shredded coconut or toasted buckwheat if desired.

This is a very beautiful dessert. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't like it unless I subbed regular yogurt (I'm weird and don't like coconut lol). But I bet my kiddos would like this. Thanks for sharing!
