Don't you just love quick and yummy breakfast especially when it's bursting with bright colours in a jar? Meet my Chia pudding and granola parfait with mangoes and poms! It's creamy, healthy, perfectly sweet and crunchy from the addition of granola. Mangoes and chia coconut pudding is a match made in heaven and come granola and poms in the picture, it tastes even more delicious!! Speaking of mangoes, monsoon has almost hit Mumbai and I am not ready yet to bid goodbye to Alphonso untill next season! Making the most of them and having them literally everyday in some form or other as  Mango Colada smoothie bowl , Mango chilli lemonade , Mango and cream cheese ice-cream and Mango salad with mango-mint dressing ! Parfait is a layered dessert made with cream and fruits but getting more popular now as a breakfast item. Breakfast parfait is made by layering healthy ingredients like yogurt, granola and fruits together. Extremely easy to make with few ingredients,...

Soak them in milk/coconut milk/almond milk just before sleeping and put in refrigerator overnight.

While soaking, seeds develop jelly like coating which gives chia-based drinks a distinct texture. I have fond memories of these chia seeds soaked and dunked in refreshing Roohafaza lemonade and Milk rose. If I am being honest, I would gulp down my drinks only to experience soft crackling of wobbly chia seeds between my teeth. Mornings can be hectic. People often blame it on time and skip breakfast. Time shouldn't be the reason.This nutritious creamy dreamy chia pudding is an easy make-ahead breakfast which hardly needs any preparation. With season's fresh mangoes in house, it seemed only fair to use these juicy and pulpy mangoes for this pudding. Instead of soaking chia seeds in milk, I have used coconut milk. Classic combination of coconut-mango brings out the best of tropical ...
