One of our afternoon activities was making chia pudding parfaits.
I thought it was pretty genius considering it occupied them and resulted in them prepping their own breakfasts for the next day.
Chia pudding parfaits for two
Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup coconut milk (x2)
- 2 heaping tbsp chia seeds (x2)
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 4-6 strawberries, chopped
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- [optional toppings] nut, seeds, shredded coconut
I poured the coconut milk into a measuring glass for them, but had them each pour half into their own bowl. Then they scooped out the chia seeds, mixed it in with the maple syrup, and waited for them to gel.
Once they were starting to turn into a pudding like texture, they chopped up the fruit and added it on top.
The next morning they each chose the additional toppings they wanted – sunflower seeds for him, shredded coconut for her.
And boy were they a big hit! As soon as they woke up they mentioned how excited they were to come downstairs and eat the breakfast they had made the day before.
Now they are brainstorming the next combinations they want to use (pineapple & banana).
