Instructions
- 1Prepare the chia pudding: In a medium bowl or jar, whisk together the chia seeds, milk, 2 tbsp maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract until well combined. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until thickened and gel-like.
- 2Make the strawberry rhubarb compote: In a small saucepan, combine the sliced strawberries, chopped rhubarb, 2 tbsp water, and 1 tbsp maple syrup (or honey). Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- 3Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rhubarb is tender and the fruit has broken down into a saucy consistency. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- 4Once both the chia pudding and compote are chilled, assemble the parfaits. In individual serving glasses or jars, spoon a layer of chia pudding.
- 5Top the pudding layer with a generous amount of the cooled strawberry rhubarb compote. Repeat layers if desired.
- 6Before serving, sprinkle with your favorite granola for added crunch. Enjoy immediately or store in the refrigerator.
