Kickstart your day with this Berry Buckwheat Chia Pudding Parfait. This versatile chia pudding is also perfect for snack or dessert!
My younger sister is here visiting and I’m trying to get her to eat healthier starting with the first meal of the day, breakfast. I can eat porridge everyday for breakfast but I realise that porridge isn’t everyone’s cup of tea so I’ve been experimenting.
This Berry Buckwheat Chia Pudding Parfait is one delicious experiment!
