These mango chia parfaits boast a delightful blend of flavours and health benefits.

RECIPE NOTES
The addition of creamy yoghurt chia pudding not only elevates the taste but also enriches the dish with essential proteins and vitamins. For a variation, you can opt for a standard milk pudding. For more flavours, you can equally add heavy cream or cream cheese to the yoghurt and whip until combined.
To enhance the creaminess, refrigerate the yoghurt base slightly, achieving a texture akin to ice cream for an extra refreshing touch.

servings10
minutesIngredients
3 large mangoes
1 cup pomegranate
Handful of raspberries
handful of strawberries
- Yoghurt Chia mixture
1 cup yoghurt
3 teaspoons chia seeds
Directions
- Combine finely chopped mangoes, juicy pomegranate seeds, and a handful of raspberries and strawberries in a bowl. Set it aside as you prepare the other components of your delicious creation.
- In a separate bowl, combine chia seeds with yogurt, ensuring they are thoroughly incorporated.
Allow the mixture to rest for at least 20 minutes, or until the chia seeds have expanded and absorbed some of the yogurt, creating a thick and creamy consistency.
This step not only enhances the texture of the yogurt but also maximizes the nutritional benefits of the chia seeds. - In a glass, create alternating layers of the mango mixture and the yogurt-chia seed mixture. Start with a spoonful of the mango mixture at the bottom of the glass, followed by a layer of the yogurt-chia seed mixture.
Continue layering in this manner until the glass is filled to your liking, enuring a final layer of the mango mixture on top. Serve and enjoy!
