Oh Canada! Raspberry Vegan Parfait

Rocky team member Salina is back with this delightfully natural Canada 150 inspired treat! In her words:

Hi again Rocky fam! This year I have Canada-ized one of my favourite simple, healthy treats to bring to the table, picnic, float... or wherever you may be heading this Canada Day! With a creamy coconut milk base, delicately sweetened with a dash of local maple syrup this simple-to-prepare chia pudding brings all of the sensations of summer to the party. Layered with fresh mashed raspberries for a sweet tang and bringing our patriotic colours together, this is a treat to delight as much as this beautiful country does!

**Chia seeds can be bought already milled from any good health food store, or alternately, place 2 Tbsp of white chia seeds in a coffee grinder for a few moments until well ground.

Happy Healthy Canada Day!
