Layered blackberry and dairy-free yogurt parfaits made with sweet fruit, creamy non-dairy yogurt, and crushed allergy-friendly seed snacks instead of granola for a lighter, kid-approved treat.
Ingredients
Key Ingredients
- dairy-free yogurt I like Cocojune or Silk Almond
- blackberries fresh or thawed
- maple syrup or coconut sugar optional, for sweetening the blackberries
- chia seeds
- crushed SeedWise clusters or chopped pumpkin seeds for crunch in place of granola
Instructions
- Mash blackberries with a little maple syrup or coconut sugar and chia seeds.
- Layer dairy-free yogurt, the blackberry mixture, and seed crunch (crushed SeedWise clusters or chopped pumpkin seeds) in jars.
- Let sit 10 minutes for the seeds to soften slightly, then chill or serve immediately.
Notes
Why it works:
Emma asked for “those pink things in plastic cups” she saw at a friend’s house. I wasn’t about to give her the sugar bomb version, so we layered sweet blackberries, creamy non-dairy yogurt, and crushed allergy-friendly seed snacks instead of granola. And it worked. Rachel tip: Let it sit 10 mins before serving so the seeds soften slightly—gives that creamy texture without actual oats. Kid tip: Let them build their own layers. Less stress. More fun.
