Chia Pudding Parfait (with Two Flavors)!

I know, chia is so 10 years ago. It never got old for me! I am still forever amazed by chia's food properties and how it grows in size and stays crunchy, but soft and creates a pudding inherently on its own. It really is as cool as those old chia pet commercials :D
Now, there are certainly lots of health benefits to chia, but I
am no expert, so please do some research on what those are. I do know it has a bit of protein and a fair amount of fiber. Essentially this means it keeps you fuller for longer. I know this is the case for me, which is another reason I
like it so much!
One version I inspired from chunky monkey and used bananas and
walnuts. I made a tiny bit healthier with cinnamon instead of chocolate, but
throw that chocolate on yours if you enjoy it!
For the other, I used raspberry, pomegranate seeds, and chopped
pistachios. I didn't think that would be my favorite, but it really was
amazing. The pomegranate seeds are not to be skipped, they add such a nice
crunch.
Enjoy!

Recipe details
Ingredients
Chia Pudding
- 2 Tbsp chia seeds
- 1/2 cup milk of your choice
- 1 tsp honey
- Toppings of your choice
- Ex: walnuts, bananas, cinnamon // raspberries, pomegranate seeds, pistachios
Instructions
Chia Pudding
- Mix ingredients until all seeds are incorporated in the milk. Let it rest a few minutes and stir it again to remove clumps and those little seeds hanging to the sides of your cup
- Assemble your parfaits in whatever containers / bowls you have
- Use whatever fruits you have on hand. I layered bananas, walnuts and cinnamon for one and raspberries, pomegranate seeds, and pistachios for the other.
- Store for up to a week covered in the fridge
Tips
- The best part of chia is adding in whatever flavors, spices, herbs, nuts, seeds, fruit, that YOU love. Have fun with it :)
- Use whatever milk you have on hand. If you are vegan, oat and almond milk are favorites for me. Generally, I like whole milk for mine.

Is it 1/2 cup of milk? Sounds yummy!
1/2 milk? Half what exactly? Cup? Pint? This sounds so good but clarification on that ingredient would be helpful! Thank you in advance!
