• Note: this recipe as written will give you EXTRA syrup!! you can keep it in the fridge, or just make one (or two) flavors at a time.
• To make the fruit syrup, add 1 cup of fruit to a saucepan with the water, honey and pinch of cornstarch. Bring the mixture to a bubble and stir, then cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the fruit begins to break down. Transfer the mixture carefully to a blender or food processor (if you want a smooth syrup!) and blend until pureed and smooth. Pour into a bowl and let cool to room temperature. Store in a sealed container in the fridge.

chia pudding

• Prep the chia pudding either the night before or at least 4 to 6 hours before eating. Whisk together the milk, chia, honey, vanilla and salt in a large bowl. Cover the bowl and place it in the fridge. Remove after 30 to 60 minutes and stir once or twice. Refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours.

for the parfaits

• To assemble the parfaits, add 2 to 3 tablespoons of the fruit syrup on the bottom of a glass. Layer on 1/4 cup of greek yogurt, about 1/4 cup of the chia pudding, a handful of fresh fruit and more syrup. I like to do one more layer of yogurt, chia pudding and fruit. Top with syrup and your favorite granola.
