1/2 ripe avocado (Vitamin E for skin moisture)

Instructions:
Enjoy your gorgeous, skin-boosting breakfast!
Make the chia pudding: In a bowl, combine the chia seeds, almond milk, vanilla extract, and maple syrup (if using). Stir well, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and form a thick, pudding-like texture.
Prepare the avocado layer: In a blender or food processor, blend the ripe avocado with a spoonful of almond milk to create a smooth, creamy consistency. You can also add a little honey if you prefer a sweeter flavor.
Assemble the parfait: In a glass or jar, layer the chia pudding, avocado cream, and mixed berries. Repeat layers until the container is filled.
Top it off: Add a spoonful of almond butter or peanut butter for extra healthy fats, then sprinkle with coconut flakes and granola for crunch.
