Strawberry-Banana Parfait

So today I tried making my own parfait. It was really tasty and I liked it a lot, but  in the future I will try creating and or using a better recipe than this one. C'mon give me some slack this was my first one. :) Okay so let's get started.

Ingredients:

  • Frozen Fruit of your choice (I used strawberries)
  • Vanilla Coconut Milk
  • Trader Joe's Coconut Cream
  • 1Cup of Old Fashioned Oats
  • 1/2 Tbs Chia Seeds
  • 1 Tbsp Vanilla Extract
  • A Pinch Nutmeg
  • 2 Cups of Soy Milk (or you could use almond milk)
  • Grapes (Left), Blueberries (Right)- It depends on how much you would like.
  • 1/2 Cup of Granola

Directions:
  1. Make the Healthy Ice Cream (which is in the middle) the night before. Here is the link to make that.
  2. Next you take a fairly large bowl and pour your Old Fashioned Oats in.
  3. Then you add the Soy Milk, Chia Seeds, Vanilla Extract, and Nutmeg.
  4. Place your overnight oats in a jar or bowl to sit in the refrigerator for the night.- Covered or uncovered, it doesn't matter.
  5. The next morning your oats should be thick, so you can pour the Ice Cream on top of the oats.
  6. Next add your fruit- I added blueberries in the picture above.
  7. Finally top off your parfait with granola and a spoon. | Enjoy!

Bundle O' Blueberries

Hello! This post will be about a quick snack that you can make in about 30 mins! It is delicious and a sweet treat you can eat without guilt!

Tools/Ingredients:

  1. Vanilla Yogurt (can be Greek, Fat-Free, Lactose-Free, Pro biotic, etc.)
  2. Skewers
  3. Blueberries
Directions:


  1. If your blueberries are frozen, then defrost them. If not then you can skip this step.
  2. Grab your skewers and push your berries up the stick.
  3. For this step you can either pour your yogurt on a plate and roll your kabob in it. Or you could do what I did and take a spoon and scoop out some yogurt and coat the blueberries that way. 
  4. Cover your kabobs with Saran or Cling wrap (after you place them on a freezer friendly plate)
  5. Depending on how cold your freezer is this might take longer. My freezer settings were set on "4" and I put the kabob's in for 30-45 mins.
  6. When they are completely frozen take them | Enjoy!
