A PALEO PARFAIT

A Paleo Parfait is the perfect treat if you feel like having dessert for

breakfast. There are many savory Paleo breakfast ideas out there, but finding something sweet while sticking to a Paleo diet can be a challenge which is why we created this gorgeous parfait full of healthy fats and free-radical-fighting antioxidants.

The cashew cream base of our Paleo Parfait adds a lightly sweet richness that pairs perfectly with the tartness of the berries. We topped ours off with protein-rich chia seeds, goji berries (not approved on the Cleanse, more on this below), and lemon zest. It’s the perfect amount of crunch along with some serious antioxidant power for those primal results.

A PALEO PARFAIT

Ingredients:
12-ounce raspberries
6-ounce blackberries
2 tablespoons coconut palm sugar
2 cups cashews, soaked for 3 hours or overnight
2/3 cup water
2 tablespoons chia seeds
zest of one lemon
5 dates
1 tsp vanilla extract
pinch of sea salt
2 tablespoons goji berries (avoid if you are on the cleanse)

Optional: Mix in a Cleanse Shake packet or a serving of our Daily Shake for added protein, vitamins, and minerals.

Directions:

Rinse berries. Set blueberries aside. Place blackberries and raspberries in a sauté pan with coconut palm sugar.

Cook on medium low for 5 minutes, occasionally stirring and mashing with a spoon, until water has been released from berries. Increase heat to medium-high and bring berries to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 8-10 additional minutes, or until berries have thickened slightly. Pour berries in a bowl and store in fridge covered.

Drain and rinse cashews.

Place cashews, dates, vanilla, and sea salt in a blender. Blend until smooth (about 60-90 seconds). The texture will resemble greek yogurt. Put cashew cream in the refrigerator. Let both the berries and cashew cream cool for at least 1 hour.

While berries and cashew cream cool, prepare parfait toppings. Zest 1 Meyer lemon. roughly chop goji berries.

Mix zest, berries, and chia seeds together in a bowl. Set aside.

Evenly divide berry mixture into the bottom of 4 small containers or bowls.

Spoon a large dollop of cashew cream mixture evenly over berries (you may have some left over).

Gently spread cashew cream into an even layer.

Top with goji berry mixture and blueberries.

Refrigerate or serve immediately.
