Even though fall is here, there still remains delicious strawberries as a reminder of summer days. I decided to combine them to a few other ingredients to make a refreshing superfood chocolatey parfait.

This parfait is made with a layer of nutritious almond milk, chia seeds and oats that have soaked overnight to make this powerful creamy pudding base. As a sweetener, a few dates and maple syrup are added. Finally, dark chocolate and fresh mint leaves are thrown into the mixt to get this superfood choco-mint pudding.

To assemble the parfait, you simply place layers of choco-mint superfood pudding with bright red strawberries and you have a delicious and beautiful dessert. It is so healthy you could even eat it for breakfast if you want!
