See, I can actually make food that is somewhat healthy……….every once in a while.

I thought with it being Monday we should probably start out the week with something good for us, you know? Then maybe we’ll feel less guilty if we decide to indulge in something decadent at the end of it. It’s like saving up good-behavior stickers in kindergarten for a weekend prize. Although, I’m not sure this quite makes the list of perfectly healthy foods because, well look at it. How can you not feel a little indulgent when you’re eating these layers of fruity, crunchy, sweet happiness?

I’ve been in the mood for lots of fresh and summery stuff the last few days because we’ve been having these random really hot days popping up. Even though Fall is my favorite, I do enjoy a few hot days sometimes, even though most of my family thinks I'm crazy for it.

So what I’m getting at is that these parfaits are perfect for the summer. I was going to make them with yogurt but they were so close to being completely vegan that I thought it would be nice to go all the way, Plus, I’ve been wanting to try this idea I had for vegan “yogurt” and I’m happy to say it worked and is amazing! I know a lot of you guys have certain diet restrictions and I like be as helpful as I can.

I think my brothers would have eaten 3 or 4 of these if I’d let them, and they are not that big on eating their fruit either, so that’s saying something. Actually, they keep begging me to make more because they loved it so much, and I agree that these are definitely a do-again.

If you are not a vegan than you can use regular vanilla or fruit flavored yogurt instead of making my dairy free version, but the granola is a must. So much flavor and the young dried coconut is one of my new favorite things. It’s coconut that they have harvested early when it’s still green so that it’s extra sweet and soft. Then they dry it just like other fruits and, uh, yum! It’s basically candy, you’ve gotta try it!

As always, the recipe is available upon request. The first request gets an upvote.
