Why you’ll love this Matcha Golden Milk Layered Chia Pudding Parfait

Other than being just about the most colorful cup of goodness, this protein-packed, adaptogenic, layered chia pudding parfait makes the perfect breakfast to fuel your day or an ideal post-workout recovery snack. Here's a breakdown of each nutritious layer:

The chia pudding layers feature Focus Matcha Superblend. Tiny seeds full of protein, fiber and omega-3s, paired with brain supporting and energizing ceremonial grade matcha, moringa, lion's mane and ashwagandha.

Next come bright and cheerful layers of turmeric infused yogurt. Probiotics and Restore Turmeric Superblend for gut-loving, digestion supporting and inflammation relieving benefits. This layer is where a scoop of your fave protein powder gets added if you so choose.

Then we've got layers of fresh fruit. We love muddled berries for even more antioxidants, fiber and natural sweetness.

And last but definitely not least, to top it off, more fruit, bee pollen, cacao nibs or anything you love.
