Strawberry Protein Pudding Breakfast Parfait

I played around with different flavors and ingredients and eventually settled on this

super delicious strawberry version which is basically a blended chia pudding. I was going to go with just the pudding until one morning I added the leftovers of one of the batches to my morning oats. BOOM! The once pudding recipe transformed into so much more.
