Why You’ll Love This Chocolate Peanut Butter Chia Seed Snickers Pudding Parfait
Nutritious Indulgence: This parfait allows you to indulge in the beloved Snickers flavors of chocolate and peanut butter while nourishing your body with chia seeds, which are packed with fiber, protein, and omega-3s. It’s a treat that satisfies your sweet tooth without compromising your health goals.
Layered Perfection: The combination of creamy peanut butter chia pudding, rich chocolate layers, and crunchy peanuts creates a textural delight that keeps every bite exciting. It’s like eating a Snickers bar with a spoon, but in a guilt-free, wholesome way!
Substitutions
Peanut Butter: I used creamy peanut butter for this recipe, but you can swap this in with the crunchy version if you like. Look for one without any added oils or sugar for the healthiest option (check the ingredient label).
Vegan Yogurt: Taste test the yogurt before using in this recipe. If you like the taste of it plain, it will work well in this parfait. Choose an unsweetened yogurt, without vanilla or another flavor.
Maple Syrup: Choose pure maple syrup, without added ingredients. Replace it with agave nectar, although it will not be refined sugar-free.
Cacao Powder: Cacao is the unprocessed version of cocoa, which can be used instead. Cocoa loses some of its antioxidant powder due to the way it is processed.
Chocolate PB Chia Seed Snickers Parfait Recipe Notes
- Sprinkle some dark chocolate shavings or a drizzle of melted dark chocolate on top for added indulgence.
- Looking for a quick breakfast? Make a larger batch of just the peanut butter or chocolate chia pudding layers for breakfast, instead of the entire parfait!
