Ingredients
Be sure to take a look at the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and quantities to make this Blueberry Parfait.
- Vegan Granola: I used homemade vegan granola but if you have a favorite store bought granola that's also fine just watch out for the added refined sugars.
- Fresh Blueberries: Used to make the blueberry chia jam or blueberry compote if you prefer.
- Pure Maple Syrup: I used this to naturally sweeten this blueberry parfait without the added refined sugars in most yogurts.
- Non-Dairy Yogurt: I used unsweetened coconut yogurt but your favorite variety will work just fine, be sure it's unsweetened because we are going to naturally sweeten it with maple syrup.
Variations
- Vegan yogurt: In this berry parfait I used non-dairy unsweetened coconut yogurt. Feel free to use any type of yogurt you like in this berry parfait recipe, but keep it unsweetened because we are using maple syrup to sweeten it and keep it refined sugar free.
