I love enjoying these coconut chia pudding parfaits as a refreshing dessert on a warm summer evening. They’re also great for breakfast or as a midday snack. I often make them ahead of time and store them in the fridge, so they’re ready to go whenever I need a quick and healthy treat. My family loves them too! They’re always a hit, and my kids don’t even realize they’re eating something healthy.
