Step 1

Combine the chia seeds and cacao powder in a small resealable container. Pour in 1/2 cup of soymilk and stir to incorporate. If you're using unsweetened soymilk, stir in sweetener of choice, to taste.

Step 2

Let the mixture sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes, then give it another good stir, put on the lid, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. The longer you refrigerate the pudding, the thicker it will be.

Step 3

When you're ready to assemble your parfait, whisk together the peanut butter with 2 tablespoons of soymilk in a small bowl. If the mixture is too thick, whisk in an additional tablespoon of soymilk.

Step 4

Layer the chia pudding with the peanut butter sauce and banana slices in a serving dish or jar. Top with cacao nibs, if using, and serve immediately.
