Preparation of Greek Yogurt and Chia Seeds Parfait
The perfect snack for those who want to enjoy a dessert guilt-free even when on a diet.
Mix the chia seeds with the Greek yogurt and let it sit for at least 10 minutes so the seeds swell and create a thicker consistency.
Crumble the whole grain cookies and evenly distribute them on the bottom of a glass or dessert plate.
Use a pastry cutter to maintain the shape.
Pour the Greek yogurt with the chia seeds over the cookie base, distributing it well to obtain an even layer.
Melt the dark chocolate in a bain-marie or microwave (at 30-second intervals, stirring each time).
Once melted, let it cool slightly and then pour it over the yogurt layer, adding a tablespoon of honey if desired.
Let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 25 minutes to slightly solidify the chocolate.
To make the Greek Yogurt and Chia Seeds Parfait even more delicious, you can add chopped dried fruit on top.
Alternatively, add fresh seasonal fruit, provided it is added right before serving to prevent oxidation.
This breakfast is rich in protein, fiber, and antioxidants, perfect for starting the day with energy
