Chia Yogurt Parfait – The Perfect 5 PM Snack

A protein-rich, gut-friendly snack to beat cravings, balance blood sugar, and keep you full till dinner

If there’s a long gap between lunch and dinner, this easy-to-make parfait is your go-to solution. It’s light yet filling, high in protein and fibre, and supports your weight loss goals — without the energy crash of a carb-heavy snack.

Ingredients (Serves 1)

• 1 tbsp chia seeds

• 6 tbsp low-fat curd or 100g plain Greek yogurt

• ½ cup chopped low-GI fruit (e.g. apple, guava, berries, or pear)

• 1 tsp flaxseed powder (optional but recommended)

• ½ tsp cinnamon powder (or vanilla extract)

• 3 almonds, sliced (soaked if possible)

• Optional: ¼ tsp stevia/monk fruit if you need added sweetness

Method

1. In a bowl, mix yogurt with chia seeds, cinnamon, and flaxseed powder. The mix should be slightly runny — like a thin smoothie.

2. Let this mixture soak for 15–30 minutes (or prep ahead and refrigerate).

3. In a glass, layer the yogurt mixture with chopped fruit.

4. Top with sliced almonds for a crunch.

5. Chill or eat immediately!
