We are going in a direction today that takes us to one of my favorite types of dessert. While ice cream will always be a true love of mine, pudding is a very close second.

Of course, with my deep love for chocolate, chocolate pudding is the only way to go. It was a favorite of mine to make as a child.

I could easily find myself eating bowl after bowl of chocolate pudding. So let’s take that love for pudding and turn it into these perfectly adorable Chocolate Banana Chia Seed Pudding Parfaits.

Whether you are making these for yourself and your significant other OR for your little ones, it is a perfect dessert to devour with some peace of mind.

Especially our little lady bug garnishes. Aren’t they just adorable? Find the video below to see how really quick and easy these are to make.

Despite my love of chocolate pudding, I rarely have the patience to actually make it myself. Generally, instead of making it, I go for the frozen yogurt; it’s just more instantly gratifying to go to the local froyo store. #LazinessAtItsFinest

This recipe does require just a TAD bit of prep time. This is necessary to give the chia seeds time to gel together in the milk.

Now, I can consume dairy, but it needs to still be in moderation. I made the chia seed pudding layer with almond milk, but this can easily be changed to any dairy or non-dairy option your heart (or stomach) needs and desires.

Layer these perfect pudding layers in with some naturally sweet bananas (and/or strawberries) and you have the perfect date night dessert.

TIP: I used rather large glasses for my parfaits. Actually, these are my stemless wine glasses–LOL! This recipe can easily be made into 4-5 smaller portioned desserts.

Hello Chocolate Banana Chia Seed Pudding. We’ve been craving you!

I absolutely loved them for that quick snack after a long day of work.
