If you’re a lover of the popular tropical cocktail, you must try my Pina Colada Chia Pudding Parfaits. Layers of creamy chia pudding, topped with extra pineapple and coconut… aka vacation in a cup. Perfect for breakfast, snacks, and for the kids, this recipe is an awesome one to have on hand. I love to meal prep this recipe as it doesn’t get more simple (or delicious!) than this. Make a big batch of pudding ahead of a busy week and store your parfaits for grab-and-go solutions on the way to work or between errands! Enjoy!
