In a medium bowl, whisk together chia seeds, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt.
Whisk vigorously for 2 minutes to prevent clumping.
Let sit for 5 minutes, then whisk again to break up any clumps.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight until thickened to pudding consistency.
Before serving, stir the chia pudding to ensure smooth texture.
Prepare parfait glasses or jars by layering ingredients.
Start with 2-3 tablespoons of chia pudding in the bottom of each glass.
Add a layer of mixed berries.
Sprinkle with granola and sliced almonds.
Repeat layers until glasses are full, ending with berries and a sprinkle of coconut.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
Serve immediately or store in refrigerator for up to 3 days.
