This peanut butter and jelly chia parfait is made with a creamy vanilla almond milk chia pudding base. They then get topped with a quick & easy chia berry jam, and finally finished off with some delicious smooth peanut butter. Enjoy this parfait for breakfast, a healthy snack, or dessert!

So this recipe for peanut butter and jelly chia parfait is actually a new & improved version of an older recipe on the blog.

Peanut butter and jelly is one of my all-time favourite combinations, so this recipe is one of my favourite ways to enjoy chia pudding!

The base starts with a creamy vanilla chia pudding, and then is layered with some berry chia pudding jam and finally topped off with some peanut butter. If I’m feeling extra fancy sometimes I’ll even top the whole parfait with some granola. (which is delicious too!)

One thing I love about this recipe is that for the jam you can use any kind of berry mixture you like. I used raspberries with some strawberries for this one. If you’re feeling creative you can always mix up the fruit in the jam. Strawberry & rhubarb jam would be delicious, or even cherry jam!

I wanted to revamp this recipe in honour of National peanut butter and jelly day which is April 2nd! (Who knew, right?) So do yourself a favour and make this recipe to celebrate! (or if you’re looking for more great pb&j recipes make sure to try this peanut butter and jelly smoothie!)

  Hi Melike, thank you so much! You can use honey or any other type of “sticky” sweetener. If you prefer using sugar to sweeten you can also use that too!

Peanut butter and jelly never fails to dazzle me. Your chia parfait looks beautiful and SO delicious and sweet. I love how the layers just stack so perfectly! Whenever I try to make layered-treats like this, they always end up mixing together and making a big messy and ugly-looking mixture of foods! LOL! At least taste isn’t sacrificed!

  Hi Cassie, thank you! Peanut butter and Jelly is the best, isn’t it? When making layers I like to gently spoon them into a cup. I also make sure that the bottom layer is thicker than the top layers so it doesn’t mix all together!
