Is your breakfast rut giving you the blues? Chase them away with this vibrant blueberry chia parfait. Just like a classic parfait, this one is loaded with fresh fruit and creamy yogurt, but we recommend coconut-milk-based yogurt for a dairy-free version with a tropical twist. You’ll boost this parfait with nutrient-rich superfoods chia seeds and spirulina powder, the latter of which adds the bright blue hue. Dig in!
