Blueberry Chia Parfait

Snacktime is my favorite meal of the day. I love snacks and have often been known to sneak a snack, even a half hour before dinner. Why do I love snacks so much? Well, you see, it is a very fine line for me from “a little hungry” to full on “eat everything in sight”. I think it probably has something to do with a family history of diabetes and my blood sugar, but all I know is that I don’t like to be hungry, hence my love of snacktime. A delicious parfait made from a Special K bar, blueberries and chia seed pudding. An awesome healthy snack!

A couple weeks ago Special K sent me an awesome collection of goodies to review including these awesome snack bars! I like bars because they are so easy and perfect for throwing in the diaper bag or car when I know I’ll be out for awhile. Then when I feel the “crazy-hunger” coming on I don’t fly wheels screeching to the nearest Dairy Queen.

Blueberry Chia Parfait

While munching on the blueberry bliss bar I had an epiphany for a parfait that would be an amazing healthy snack or end of the day dessert….a blueberry chia parfait.

An awesome thing about this parfait is that it comes together super-quick and it just feels special. Like a mini-vacation right in the middle of your day. Plus it uses chia seeds, which are an amazing source of omega-3s, calcium, and antioxidants!
