Passionfruit and Chia Seed Parfait with Pumpkin Seeds
Layered chia pudding parfaits with tangy passionfruit pulp, creamy yogurt, and crunchy toasted pumpkin seeds on top.
Chia seeds swell into a thick, pudding-like base overnight, making them an easy way to build a make-ahead breakfast or dessert. Layered here with plain yogurt and the tart, fragrant pulp of fresh passionfruit, the parfait ends up as pretty as it is simple to put together.
Pumpkin seeds scattered over the top add magnesium, a mineral that comes up often in conversations around menopause and midlife nutrition, along with plant protein and a satisfying crunch. Passionfruit itself brings fiber and vitamin C, while the chia seeds contribute their own fiber and a modest amount of plant-based omega-3s.
Layer these in individual jars the night before for an easy grab-and-go option, or build one big bowl for the table to share.
Ingredients
