Nutty Seed Pudding Parfait Recipe

• In a bowl, mix ¼ cup chia seeds and ¼ cup triple omega superseed. Add 1 cup milk, 2-3 tbsp coconut sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Stir well and refrigerate for 3-4 hours or overnight to allow the mixture to thicken.
• In serving glasses or bowls, start by layering nutty granola at the bottom.
• Spoon the prepared seed pudding over the granola layer.
• Add a layer of Greek yogurt or yogurt alternative on top of the seed pudding.
• Scatter fresh berries over the yogurt layer.
• Create another layer of nutty granola, followed by seed pudding and yogurt.
• Top with more fresh berries and a sprinkle of chopped nuts if desired.

Tri-Color Quinoa Superseed Pudding

• In a saucepan, combine the rinsed 1 cup tri-color quinoa and 2 cups of milk. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the quinoa is cooked and the liquid is absorbed. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
• In a bowl, mix the mixed ¼ cup superseeds together.
• Once the quinoa is cooked, add the remaining 1 cup of milk, ¼ cup coconut flour, and 1 tbsp vanilla extract to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.
• Stir in the mixed superseeds into the quinoa mixture. Mix until everything is well incorporated.
• Allow the mixture to cool slightly before covering the saucepan. Place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 2-3 hours, or until the pudding thickens and sets. The chia seeds will absorb liquid and help create the pudding consistency.
