Strawberry Pistachio Matcha Chia Parfaits

Matcha fusions are strongest when the other flavors do real work.

Strawberries bring acidity and sweetness, pistachios bring richness, and Greek yogurt keeps the parfait from tasting like a dessert drink.

Chia makes the matcha layer spoonable enough to prep ahead. Whisk the matcha with a small amount of milk first so it disperses instead of leaving green specks.

Layer the parfaits shortly before serving if you want the cleanest look.

For meal prep, keep the pistachios separate until the morning so they stay crisp.
