A Healthy Recipe: Mango Parfait with Chia seeds

Summer is at its peak and here I am taking advantage of the most popular summer fruit – Mango. So I kick-started the mango series with a healthy recipe today. Mango Parfait is one of the healthiest desserts I have made till now. It is simple, quick and healthy. And it can be served with breakfast and dessert. It can also be a post work out meal or a healthy mid-day snack. The combination of mango, granola and yogurt was just perfect and refreshing. And it is also a great way to introduce chia seeds to the family because it is packed with valuable nutrients. Try out this recipe and let me know what you think. This recipe again didn’t fail to impress me and you will find me making more of these in future. I have skipped the quantity of certain ingredients and leaving up to you to decide depending on the size of the serving glass.
