Creamy layers of chia, fruit, and granola create a delightful, healthy treat perfect for breakfast or snacking.
# Components:
→ Chia Pudding
01 - 1/2 cup chia seeds
02 - 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
03 - 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
04 - 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
→ Fruit Layer
05 - 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
06 - 1 cup fresh blueberries

08 - 1 cup gluten-free granola
# Directions:
01 - In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the chia seeds, almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until evenly combined. Allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes, then whisk again thoroughly to ensure the seeds do not clump.
02 - Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight. The mixture should reach a smooth, pudding-like consistency.
03 - Wash and slice the strawberries and banana. Ensure the fruit is dry before layering.
04 - In serving glasses or jars, alternate spoonfuls of chia pudding, assorted fruit, and granola. Continue layering until glasses are filled, finishing with fresh fruit and a light garnish of granola.
05 - Serve promptly for maximum crunch, or cover and chill for up to 1 hour if desired.
