Why I love this meal
It's a quick, easy crowd-pleaser. Ground chicken is a naturally high-protein base, and the whole thing comes together in about 35 minutes. I just nudged a few ingredients to make it more supportive of this stage of life — a little lighter, with a boost of protein and fibre.

These Chia Parfaits are pleasing to the eyes and the stomach! Easy to make, they keep for up to 4 days — a great make-ahead breakfast for busy mornings.

Here's why they're a smart choice during the menopause transition: between the chia seeds, Greek yogurt, and milk, each parfait delivers a solid hit of protein to help maintain muscle and keep you full, plus fibre from the chia and berries to support steady energy, digestion, and gut health. Chia also brings a little plant-based omega-3 and calcium into the mix — all things that matter more as estrogen declines. A breakfast that actually keeps you satisfied until lunch, no mid-morning crash.
