Recipe: Coconut Chia Seed Parfait
Chia seeds are wildly popular these days for their intense source of antioxidants, Omega-3s, and fiber. But to me, the small little seeds have always been a little intimidating to eat. How do I prepare them? I recently went to an organic farm-to-table restaurant that offered a delicious chia seed parfait on its menu. The breakfast was so simple and filling, so I decided to make a version of my own using coconut as the main added flavor. The recipe is so easy to create and a great breakfast to prepare the night before a busy day!
