Triple Berry Oat Parfait

Overnight oats are a staple in my house for so many reasons! They’re easy to make, contains simple and healthy ingredients, customizable and best of all.. my daughter loves them! These little parfaits make the perfect breakfast or snack (check out more snacks here). I personally love oat parfaits because they’re tasty and contain so many healthy ingredients.

This triple berry oat parfait is perfect for a rushed morning. Whip up a batch the night before and all you’ve got to do is set the jar in front of your little one (or grab it for yourself!!). In doing this, you’re giving your little one an awesome, filling start to the day.

With regular oats as the base, this parfait is full of fiber and a great amount of vitamins. The chia seeds not only help thicken and bind the parfait but also contain omega three fatty acids, protein and truly just pack a nutrient punch. I’m so passionate about chia seeds I think every toddler should have them in their diet. And here are five ways to get them in!

As for the delicious part; between berries, pure maple syrup and coconut whip cream, this “snack” tastes more like a dessert. You and the kids will be devouring them in no time!

Ingredients In The Oat Parfait

• 1 cup oats (not instant)
• 1 1/2 cups almond milk
• 3 tablespoons chia seeds
• 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup

How To Make Triple Berry Parfait

Make the oats by combining the first four ingredients in a large bowl. Mix well and let sit overnight (or for at least four hours) in the fridge.

The next morning, prep your fruit by slicing the strawberries.

If you’ve placed the can of coconut milk in the fridge it should be hard and solid when you open it.

Place the coconut milk into a bowl and add the stevia. Using an electric mixer whip the coconut milk until it’s light, fluffy and resembles whip cream.

Begin layering your parfait with oats, berries and coconut whip.

Enjoy!

Makes two large servings or three small ones.

Note: Using full fat coconut milk is necessary. If the milk is not solid upon opening it won’t whip. If you flip the can upside down before placing it in the fridge the liquid separates making it easier. I’ve found  the brand “Native Forest Organic  Coconut Milk Classic” works best.
