The chia pudding takes about 20 minutes to set so make that the night before or first as you prepare the other ingredients.

I usually top it with whatever I have available at the moment (various berries, nuts, seeds...) and sometimes I add cocoa to the pudding, peanut butter to the parfait, coconut, and more. Go crazy! This can easily be made into a dessert as well, and in many different ways. Think: A vegan version of strawberry shortcake.. mmm, now I'm hungry!).
