3 tbsp chia seeds
1 tsp vanilla extract
1-2 tsp pure maple syrup, to taste
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Pinch of sea salt
- For the Yogurt Layer
3/4 cup high protein plain Greek yogurt like Chobani
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp pure maple syrup or honey

1/4 cup pecans, chopped
1/4 tbsp old fashioned oats
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil (or butter, if you prefer)
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tbsp coconut sugar
Tiny pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Step 1: Make the Chia Pudding (make this ahead of time)
Whisk together the almond milk, vanilla, cinnamon, maple syrup, and salt until smooth.
Stir in the chia seeds.
Let sit for 5 minutes, stir again, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight. - Step 2: Make the Crumble Topping
Mix all the ingredients
Spread on a baking sheet.
Bake at 325°F for about 8 to 10 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the oats are lightly golden and the pecans are fragrant. Let it cool completely before sprinkling it over the parfait. As it cools, it’ll crisp up even more. - Step 2: Make the Peach Compote
Add the frozen peaches and water to a small saucepan over medium heat.
Cook for about 8-10 minutes until the peaches soften and become juicy. Turn off the heat, then stir in cinnamon, vanilla, almond extract, salt, and maple syrup.
Lightly mash about half of the peaches with the back of a spoon, leaving the rest chunky.
Allow the compote to cool completely. - Step 3: Prepare the Yogurt
Mix the Greek yogurt with the vanilla and honey until smooth. - Step 4: Assemble the Parfaits
Layer into a couple of 10 oz jars with:
• Peach compote
• Vanilla Greek yogurt
• Almond butter chia pudding
• Crumble Topping (Add just before serving)
Serve chilled.
Notes
- Tips for Success
Let the peach compote cool before assembling the jars to keep the yogurt layer thick and creamy.
To save time, buy low sugar vanilla Greek yogurt and a store-bought low sugar granola.
These parfaits keep well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, making them perfect for meal prep.
If the chia pudding thickens too much, stir in a splash of almond milk before assembling.
