Chef's Note
This dairy-free parfait uses coconut yogurt for a creamy, slightly tropical base that pairs beautifully with the mixed berries. The seed crunch provides essential nutrients and a satisfying texture contrast. For best results, add the seed crunch just before serving to maintain its crispness. All components can be prepared in advance for quick assembly throughout the week.

Ingredients
4 cups plain coconut yogurt
4 scoops vanilla protein powder
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
1 cup fresh blueberries
1 cup fresh raspberries
1 cup blackberries
2 cups homemade seed crunch (see below)
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
2 tablespoons chia seeds
2 tablespoons hemp seeds
2 tablespoons coconut oil
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon orange zest
Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C) for the homemade seed crunch.
- 2
In a large bowl, combine 1 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds, 1/2 cup sunflower seeds, 2 tablespoons chia seeds, and 2 tablespoons hemp seeds.
- 3
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt 2 tablespoons coconut oil. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon maple syrup, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- 4
Pour the liquid mixture over the dry ingredients and toss until everything is evenly coated.
- 5
Spread the seed crunch mixture on a parchment-lined baking sheet in an even layer.
- 6
Bake for 10 minutes, stir the mixture, then bake for another 8-10 minutes until golden brown. Monitor closely to prevent burning.
- 7
Remove from oven and allow to cool completely. The seed crunch will become crispier as it cools.
- 8
While the seed crunch cools, wash all berries and slice the strawberries.
- 9
In a medium bowl, mix 4 cups coconut yogurt with 4 scoops of vanilla protein powder until smooth and well combined.
- 10
Gently fold 1 teaspoon of orange zest into the yogurt mixture.
- 11
To assemble each parfait: In a serving glass or bowl, layer 1/4 of the yogurt mixture, followed by a drizzle of maple syrup (about 1/2 tablespoon per parfait), 1/4 of the mixed berries, and 1/4 cup of the homemade seed crunch.
- 12
Repeat the layers once more, finishing with berries on top and a light drizzle of the remaining maple syrup.
- 13
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving (keep seed crunch separate until serving if preparing in advance to maintain crunchiness).
