Chia Oreo Banana Parfait
This is really a great dessert for gatherings or just for the family. Almost Healthy with a little mix of sweetness and crunch.
All you need is a little pre planning for this one. I would make this the night before or at least 8 hours before you want to serve it. The secret is the chia seeds as they need time to absorb the moisture of the plant base milk. Chia seeds are a super food with a lot of nutrients and benefits.

The oreos in this gives a great crunch and chocolate sweetness that combines nicely with the banana.
Let me know your thoughts on this one. I think you will be pleasantly suprised.
