Add 1.5 cups of light coconut milk and 0.5 cup of almond milk to a blender.

Add 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder and a pinch of salt to the blender.

Add 2 tablespoons of agave nectar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon to the blender.

Blend the mixture until smooth and pour into a bowl.

Add 1/3 of the chia seeds to the bowl and whisk well.

Add another 1/3 of the chia seeds and continue whisking.

Add the remaining chia seeds and whisk again for about 20 to 30 seconds.

Let the mixture rest for about 3 minutes, then whisk again.

Repeat the resting and whisking process one more time to prevent clumping.

After about 5 minutes, check the chia seeds; they should be starting to bloom and become gelatinous.

Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 3 to 5 hours.

In a separate bowl, add 1 cup of raspberries, 2 tablespoons of orange juice, and 1 tablespoon of agave nectar.

Use a potato masher or fork to mash the raspberries and mix with the other ingredients until thick and jammy.

In another bowl, add 1.5 cups of Greek style yogurt and mix in the raspberry jam until well combined.

In a pan, add 0.33 cup each of chopped almonds and walnuts, along with 1.5 tablespoons of coconut oil, 0.5 teaspoon of cinnamon, a pinch of salt, and 1 tablespoon of unsweetened shredded coconut.

Mix the ingredients in the pan and remove from heat once combined.

Layer the chocolate chia seed pudding, raspberry yogurt, and granola in mason jars to create parfait cups.
