I know passion fruit is not always easy to find. Who am I kidding, I didn’t even know what it looked like until I went to New Zealand for the first time in 2019!
But if you have fallen in love with passion fruit, then you’ll know what I’m talking about what a treat it really is. It’s a sweet and sour POW like nothing else, well maybe kiwi fruit. But really, it’s so unique and delicious.
Fear not if you can’t find it, because the truth is – these chia parfaits go well with any combination of fruit and yogurt. I just have a love for the tropical palette. My favorite treat is to add my Mango Passion Fruit Goop as shown in the pictures.
The trick with this is that the chia pudding needs to be made in advance. I like to make mine the night before. Then all you need is the right fruit inspiration. Hopefully, these examples will help inspire your tropical taste buds!
