How to make Pumpkin Cheesecake Chia Parfait

This is a super simple recipe, but you’ll have to prepare a bit in advance, being that the chia needs 3 hours to absorb the liquid and become plump.

The addition of chia will give your parfait more fiber, omega-3, protein, minerals and antioxidants.

Start by mixing all of your chia mixture ingredients, until seeds are fully coated.

Cover and refrigerate for 3 hours.

Next, beat cream cheese on medium speed for 1 minute, or until all lumps are gone.

Add the rest of the ingredients and mix until combined. Keep refrigerated.

Lastly, fill half of your glass with chia mixture, then fill the other half with your Pumpkin Cheesecake mixture.

Refrigerate until ready to serve.
