A hearty, crunchy, tangy, and satisfying dairy-free Healthy Coconut Yogurt Parfait with granola!  2 kinds!  The most perfectly satiating breakfast with all the feels.  And yes, there's chocolate, because what would a parfait be without chocolate?

WHY YOGURT PARFAITS ARE SO POPULAR

The wellness scene is covered with yogurt parfaits, overnight oats, and loaded bowls of beauty!  Pretty, and nourishing for the body.  These yogurt parfaits are stunning, loaded with color, toppings, and perfect layers of yum.  It's an adult foodie wonderland!  Yet, ever notice that when you make a parfait it doesn't quite turn out looking like those gorgeous pictures you see in cookbooks and on Instagram?  Especially when you are limited with ingredient choices.  I felt that when I tried to make a few coconut yogurt parfaits.  It didn't work out as well as I had hoped, but the taste was unbelievable!

And, after lots of experimentation, I quickly learned that using tissues and paper towels throughout the entire creation process is the way to go, otherwise, those layers will not be perfect.  Parfaits for that reason are really fun to eat, and a healthier alternative to other dishes.

WHAT GRANOLA IS BEST TO USE?

Use a brand you love that is certified gluten-free.  I use the brand I love too, and If you haven't noticed, I love Purely Elizabeth granola!  And I've tried many brands.  There is always some kind of ingredient that is not workable which is why I adore Purely Elizabeth.

Purely Elizabeth Granola is a healthy gluten-free granola brand that is by far one of the best, and certified gluten-free!  Liz's ingredients are pure, and whole.  Nothing artificial, just nutrient-dense and tasty.  She makes loose granola as well as granola bars for the on-the-go.

There are many combos, but I always choose Chocolate Probiotic or Blueberry Hemp because they are also nut-free.  These two versions are loaded with hemp seeds and cacao nibs!  It makes me so happy when brands are conscious of food sensitivities, and allergies beyond gluten.  Almonds, cashews, walnuts, and others are usually praised for their nutrient-dense profile, and it's a true disappointment when you find a product you might love and it has nuts in it, or dairy, or sugar.  So this granola is my gluten-free, nut-free, and dairy-free heaven.

Now that the granola is taken care of let's talk yogurt.  Because not all yogurt is created equal.

This parfait and any parfait, I make for that matter is ALWAYS made with a specific kind of yogurt.  One that is unsweetened, tangy, and only uses a few ingredients.  Tangier coconut yogurts work better in parfaits as one layer isn't meant to be as sweet as the next, especially in a breakfast meal.
