Believe it or not, this was my 1st time making Overnight Oats and Chia Seeds Pudding. Really! To put things bluntly, DON’T WAIT ANOTHER SECOND.

If you’re in need of a simple, easy breakfast idea to delight your guests, try this Kiwi Parfait. Clean eating doesn’t always have to be complicated and sometimes the simplest recipes are so beautifully delicious. While I made this just for myself, I thoroughly enjoyed creating this stunning “food art”. The only thing that you may have noticed that’s missing is the crunchy topping – vanilla granola. Unfortunately, the FitWasted kitchen was fresh out…I’ll know better next time. These little fuzzy kiwifruits have a ton of health benefits….

The skinny on kiwi:

Just one medium kiwi packs 5 percent of the daily recommended amount of folate and 117 percent of daily vitamin C. Plus, this tiny ninja fruit provides 38 percent of the recommended daily intake of vitamin K, a nutrient often missing from people’s diets.
