In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup of chia seeds with 2 cups of almond milk and 1/4 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder.
Stir well until the cocoa is fully incorporated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until the mixture thickens to a pudding-like consistency.
Once the chia pudding is ready, zest one orange and one lemon into a small bowl, then add 2 tablespoons of honey and mix well to create a citrus drizzle.
In serving glasses, layer the chia pudding with 1 cup of mixed fresh berries, such as strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries.
Drizzle a spoonful of the citrus mixture over the berries in each glass. Repeat the layers until the glasses are filled, finishing with a layer of berries on top.
Garnish each parfait with a sprinkle of the remaining citrus zest and a few mint leaves for a pop of color.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving for a chilled treat.
