Ingredients

  • 2 cups vegan coconut yogurt
  • 1 cup mixed fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
  • 1 cup vegan granola
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds
  • 2 sprigs fresh mint (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Wash and prepare the berries: Hull and slice strawberries, leave blueberries and raspberries whole.

  2. In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of maple syrup with the vegan coconut yogurt until well combined.

  3. In two serving glasses or jars, begin layering your parfait:

    • Start with 1/4 cup of the sweetened coconut yogurt in each glass.
    • Add 2 tablespoons of mixed berries on top of the yogurt.
    • Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of granola over the berries.
    • Repeat these layers once more.

  4. For the final layer, add the remaining coconut yogurt to each glass.

  5. Top each parfait with the remaining berries.

  6. Sprinkle chia seeds and sliced almonds over the berries.

  7. Drizzle the remaining maple syrup over the top of each parfait.

  8. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint.

  9. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.

Chef's Notes

  • For a creamier parfait, use a thick coconut yogurt or strain regular coconut yogurt through cheesecloth for a few hours before using.
  • Customize your parfait with seasonal fruits like peaches, mangoes, or kiwi.
  • To make this parfait ahead of time, layer everything except the granola and store in the refrigerator. Add the granola just before serving to maintain its crunch.
  • For a protein boost, add a scoop of vegan protein powder to the yogurt or sprinkle with hemp seeds.
  • If coconut yogurt isn't available, you can use any plant-based yogurt of your choice, such as almond or soy yogurt.
