Welcome back to day 2 of the Vegan Month of Food, a.k.a The Vegan MoFo. Today I’m setting my sights on the parfait.
Making parfait’s are super easy if you have kids they can help or make their own. If you own a large glass bowl or trifle dish they can make a perfect center piece for a party or make these in individual glasses like I did. These are healthy enough for an on the go breakfast but tasty enough for dessert too.
Parfait

Serve
This was a big hit at my Healthy Cravings group served as a dessert. We ate the leftovers for breakfast and lunch for a few days after. A few of my favorite variations include Cinnamon granola with diced apples, Almond granola with mixed berries, granola with vegan chocolate chips and bananas. I like to top this with chia seeds right before serving. My son thinks they are sprinkles! 🙂
This recipe is kid friendly, omni friendly, and gluten-free if you use gluten-free granola.
What is your favorite parfait combination?
Do you make your own granola for this? If so, please share the recipe 🙂
I did this time but I’ve used store bought. I love the variety of making my own. I was thinking of posting a recipe soon!
This time I used the recipe from the Forks Over Knives Cookbook so I can’t share it.
Who wouldn’t be happy with that sitting in front of them!?
I know, right!
Everything tastes better in a parfait 😉
Delicious, I’ve gotta get back into making my own vegan yogurt, the store bought kind is SO expensive!
this is simple, tasty and refreshing!
Thanks! It is a hit at my house!
So simple! 🙂 What kind of vegan chocolate chips do you use? I found carob chips but was not cool with the first ingredient being corn. bleh.
Enjoy Life brand Chocolate Chips. They are great, expensive but great! I stock up when they are on sale but I regularly see them for a little over $4. When I find them under $3 I stock up. I’m not sure what all is in them but I know they are dairy and gluten-free. 🙂
Oh!! I use those too! I guess I thought there was some other kind of chocolate chips I should be looking for. They are expensive! But I use them sparingly, unless it’s….you know….that time of the month ;o)
I was just thinking I need to make an ooey gooey chocolate cake. Sometimes a girl just needs some chocolate!
