Another very quick, easy and yummy vegan breakfast, chia coconut parfait is basically a fancy way of saying yoghurt with granola! Layers of chia seeds in coconut yoghurt and granola topped with blueberries, rasberries, another sprinkle of granola and just for fun, some Spring flowers. Nothing says Spring more than wild flowers and I couldn’t resist picking a few while walking with Bertie along the river this morning.
As I spooned this delish in my mouth, savouring the different textures of each layer I could feel the flowers blossoming inside my tummy with each bite (don’t worry I didn’t actually eat them!). Soft coconut yoghurt with little jelly chia beads, crunchy nola and bursts of berries. So good and so full of goodness! And…
It comes with the Bertie seal of approval.
I have used home made granola (links below) which is also quick and easy to prepare and great to have a stash of. I do recommend having a go at making your own, you’ll be surprised how easy it is and you’ll have delicious granola with no nasty additives and you can control the amount of sweetener you use. That said you can of course use the store bought kind if you prefer!
