Strawberry Chia Yogurt Parfait

Strawberry- chia jam drizzled atop probiotic-rich yogurt makes for a wonderful treat during the summer.

We are in full summer mode which means lots of pool time, endless trampoline fun and long days at the river. We live a few miles from one of the most beautiful and refreshing rivers in California. The scenery is gorgeous and I love the evenings when we get to watch the sun set over the horizon. What I don't love is coming home with the kids nagging me because they are starving and are going to die from hunger in 4 seconds.

I'm excited to be sharing this delicious treat over at Real Food Outlaws this week.

Intentionality is the Name of the Game

A mom has to have many tricks up her sleeve in order to keep the house orderly and bellies full. Having premade strawberry chia jam and yogurt on hand for a quick snack is one of mine. This delicious jam can be made days in advance or just before assembling this simple parfait together. It doesn't require a lot of effort and can also boast a nutritional punch with the added kombucha, although that is entirely optional. I prefer to add a few tablespoons of it since I usually use my unsweetened homemade yogurt. Just don't get kombucha-happy, or else the chia jam will be a tad on the thin side for this to be considered parfait.
