Turmeric Superfood Parfaits (vegan)

These are not just another pretty dessert.  They may look like they came from a gourmet chef, but this recipe let’s you wear the hat, without all the work.  These are guilt-free, dairy-free and hassle-free vegan superfood parfaits. The ingredient list is almost the same for each version with a few minor tweaks here and there so no need to worry.

What we love most about these matcha and turmeric chia seed parfaits is that they’re not only easy to make, but taste amazing, despite being super healthy! So without further adieu, let’s get parfait’ing!

What you’ll need for the Matcha Parfait:

• 1 packet of Yourlixir Matcha Powder (1.5g/1tsp)
• 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
• 1 tbsp chia seeds
• 1 tsp maple syrup (add more to taste)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ¼ tsp of cinnamon

What you’ll need for the Turmeric Parfait:

• 1 packet Yourlixir Turmeric Powder (1.5g/1tsp)
• 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
• ¼ tsp ginger powder
• 1 tbsp chia seeds
• 2 tsp maple syrup (add more to taste)
• ¼ tsp vanilla extract
• Pinch of black pepper
• ¼ tsp cinnamon

What you’ll need for the vegan whip cream:

• 1 can of coconut cream (refrigerated)
• 2 tbsp maple syrup

Toppings: Here’s what we chose!

• Gr8nola Turmeric granola
• Gr8nola Matcha granola
• Pomegranate seeds
• Blood orange

Directions:

1. Add powders and liquids together for each parfait, and stir well.  Once the ingredients are mixed, add the chia seeds, stir again and let it sit in the fridge for at least 2-3 hours (or preferably overnight).
2. To make the vegan whip cream, make sure the full fat coconut cream has been refrigerated. DO NOT SHAKE OR STIR CAN!  Puncture a hole in the bottom of the can and let any of the “water” drain out before opening so you are left with thickest part of the cream.
3. Add the maple syrup and coconut cream to a bowl and whip vigorously until it creates a fluffy, whip cream texture. (Add more maple syrup if you prefer it sweeter).  
4. Top the chia seed parfaits with the coconut whip cream, granola and fruits of your choice.  

Enjoy!
