Strawberry Shortcake Chia Pudding Parfaits

Strawberry shortcake has always been a comforting and classic dessert, but traditional versions are loaded with sugar and carbs. That’s why we love this keto-friendly twist—it delivers all the same creamy, fruity, and crumbly goodness without the sugar overload.

By using chia pudding as a base, we get a thick, pudding-like texture while adding an extra boost of fiber and omega-3s. Fresh strawberries bring natural sweetness and vibrant color, while the almond flour crumble mimics shortcake’s buttery richness. This dessert is perfect for meal prepping, serving at gatherings, or enjoying as a sweet breakfast option!
