Choc Banana Chia Parfait- Vegan Mofo Day 23

Another healthy dessert. This uses the healthy chia seeds. I got the inspiration from Food Doodles but the recipes uses more fruit and jam but I liked this simple version

Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding

Recipe from Love Veggies and Yoga  

• 2 tbsp chia seeds
• 1/2 C  unsweetened soy milk (or use rice, almond etc) (I found we had to use lots more like 3/4-1 cup)
• 2 tbsp agave, brown rice syrup, maple syrup or stevia to taste (I used agave)
• 1 tbsp cocoa powder
• 1/2 tsp vanilla

Mix all the ingredients together.  It may take a little time to incorporate the cocoa, but eventually it will. After everything is mixed, cover and leave on your counter for 20 minutes before enjoying.  Or you can leave it in the fridge overnight and enjoy the next day.

I then made a parfait by layering it with banana pieces

It reminded me of chocolate pudding with bananas that I used to eat as a child but is obviously much healthier. Btw, did you know that bananas should be returning to cheaper prices soon in Australia! I've really missed eating them after the floods.

Toby and I have eaten this for a few days with a few different variations.  It's a great dessert but also a great sweet breakfast for when you are rushed particularly if you substitute frozen blueberries and leave it the night before.
