I tried making chia seed pudding recently and couldn’t resist turning it into a breakfast parfait. Chia pudding makes a great base for a morning meal—creamy, filling and full of healthy omega-3s—so I layered it with fruit to make something that tastes like a banana split, but healthier. I used banana and strawberries and added a spoonful of jam on top for sweetness. If you like, you can also add pineapple for a tropical touch; about 1/3–1/2 cup of fresh pineapple chunks or unsweetened canned tidbits works well. Avoid sweetened canned fruit if you want to keep the sugar low.
