Supreme the oranges: cut off the top and bottom, then slice down the sides following the curve to remove all pith and peel. Hold over a bowl and cut each segment out between the membranes, letting the juice fall in. Set segments aside.

Stir the chilled chia pudding well—it should be thick and jammy. Divide half of the chia pudding among four glasses or bowls, then layer with half the yogurt mixture. Repeat with the remaining chia pudding and yogurt.

Safety & Storage
Allergen Warning
This recipe contains dairy (yogurt) and tree nuts (almonds). Both are major food allergens. Do not serve to individuals with milk or tree nut allergies without modification.
Cross Contamination
If preparing for allergen-sensitive individuals, use dedicated utensils and bowls. Clean all surfaces and equipment that may have contacted almonds before preparing the rest of the parfait.
Storage
The assembled parfait must be refrigerated and consumed within 4 hours of assembly. The chia pudding base can be prepared up to 24 hours ahead and kept covered in the refrigerator.
Handling
When supreming oranges, work over a bowl to catch juice and prevent cross-contamination with other ingredients. Use clean cutting boards and knives for citrus and mint.
High Risk Population
Young children, elderly individuals, and immunocompromised persons should only consume this dish if yogurt has been properly refrigerated and not left at room temperature for more than 2 hours total.
Pro Tips
Technique
Supreme your oranges the night before and store them in their own juice — they'll stay juicy and ready to pile on top when you're half-asleep and hungry.
Substitution
Swap the honey for maple syrup if that's what you have — the earthy sweetness works beautifully with coconut and citrus either way.
From the chef
I'm usually defending the freezer, but here's the truth — sometimes I want something that feels like morning sunlight in a bowl. This parfait is that for me: quick to throw together the night before, bright with citrus when I need it most, and the kind of layered beauty that makes even a Tuesday feel intentional. No guilt, no drama, just seven ingredients doing exactly what they should.
