We don’t judge, but it’s possible Greek yogurt could use a makeover. This
tasty, colorful Blueberry Chia Pudding Parfait will wow you. Even
better, it’s healthy: a good source of calcium and an excellent source of fiber
and vitamin C. A yogurt stack with blueberries and chia brings the cool and the
smooth to any gathering.
