Discover our Green Tea Kiwi Chia Parfait, a nutrient-packed healthy dessert with antioxidants and fresh flavors. Perfect for a guilt-free treat!
Ingredients
- • chia seeds: 1/2 cup
- • unsweetened coconut milk: 1 cup
- • matcha green tea powder: 1 teaspoon
- • honey or maple syrup: 2 tablespoons
- • kiwi: 3, peeled and sliced
- • unsweetened coconut yogurt: 1 cup
- • fresh mint leaves: for garnish
- • lime zest: from 1 lime
Instructions
- 1 In a medium bowl, combine chia seeds and coconut milk. Stir in the matcha green tea powder and one tablespoon of honey or maple syrup. Mix well until the chia seeds are evenly coated and the matcha is thoroughly incorporated.
- 2 Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until the chia seeds have absorbed the liquid and formed a thick, pudding-like consistency.
- 3 Once the chia mixture is ready, take four serving glasses and spoon a layer of the chia pudding into each glass.
- 4 Add a layer of sliced kiwi on top of the chia pudding, followed by a layer of coconut yogurt. Repeat the layers until the glasses are full, ending with a layer of coconut yogurt.
- 5 Drizzle the remaining honey or maple syrup on top and sprinkle with lime zest. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for an added burst of flavor and color.
Serving Suggestions
- • Serve your Green Tea Kiwi Chia Parfait Delight chilled, perfect for a refreshing end to a meal or a mid-afternoon treat. Pair it with a refreshing herbal tea, such as mint or chamomile, to complement the vibrant flavors of the parfait. For a more robust beverage option, a lightly sweetened green tea would enhance the matcha notes in your dessert beautifully. For added texture and a nutty flavor, consider topping the parfait with a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes or chopped nuts like almonds or pistachios. These additions can also boost the protein content, making this dessert even more satisfying.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover parfait in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To maintain the freshness of the kiwi and the texture of the chia pudding, avoid mixing the layers until just before serving. If the chia pudding thickens further during storage, you can stir in a bit more coconut milk to loosen it up before serving.
