Summer Strawberry Parfait

Summer Strawberry Parfait

Parfaits are one of my favorite things to make.  They can be simple or elaborate.  I  like having them for breakfast, snack or even as a dessert.  The combinations are limitless.  The chia pudding can be substituted with yoghurt and the nice cream can be omitted or replaced with non diary whipped cream.
Serves 2

Ingredients 
1 pint strawberries
1 1/2 tbsp chia seeds
1/2 cup almond milk or any non dairy milk
1 large banana, peeled and cut into slices.  Place in freezer overnight.
1 Active Bean blueberry spinach bar

Method
Chia Pudding: Stir together the chia seeds and almond milk.  Let it sit for 5 minutes and give the chia pudding another stir.  Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.  Can be made in advance day before.  
Nice Cream:  Place frozen banana slices in a food processor bowl along with 3-4 strawberries.  Blend until smooth.  
To assemble:  Layer some chopped strawberries in the bottom of a glass or bowl.  Add chia seed pudding.  Sprinkle some chopped blueberry spinach bar and top with strawberry nice cream.
