Breakfast Parfait with Coconut Yogurt and Berry Chia Jam
I have to admit…breakfast is NOT my favourite meal of the day! I know so many people love breakfast, and love going out for breakfast on weekends, but that is soo not me! It is always too rushed during the week, and I’m the kind of person who eats sooo slow! And when it comes to going out for breakfast, the options are always slim for vegetarians/vegans.
What I really look forward to is a beautiful homemade breakfast on a lazy weekend day. I always enjoy my buckwheat pancakes, but I think this breakfast parfait with coconut yogurt and berry chia jam might be my new, ultimate breakfast.
I used Coyo Coconut Yogurt in this parfait because it keeps it simple, and I’m absolutely nuts about Coyo!!!! I have offered the option of a raw coconut yogurt recipe, too, though, because it really is quite easy to make and so wholesome.
The berry chia seed jam adds such an awesome element to this parfait. Chia seeds are so healthy and add great nutrients to this breakfast. They also help to keep you feeling full! They make the coolest almost-instant jam, thanks to their jelly-like properties.

I’m so glad I’m not the only one that doesn’t eat breakfast too often during travels. I tend to eat later and eat a big lunch! Mmm your breakfast parfait looks beautiful with berry chia jam…wow I want to try that yoghurt, will I find them at a lot of groceries in Auckland? And yes I agree w/ the comment above, I would totally eat this for dessert….heck yes!

Thanks lady!! Yes, I would say all organic shops or more health-minded groceries carry it. They have an ice cream line too which I haven’t tried yet! If you like coconut, I’d really recommend it. So rich though!! Just a little does the trick 🙂

A friend of mine lent me her waffle cone maker so we’ve been going cone crazy lately…I seriously want to fill up a giant cone with this parfait heaven and just plop down with a good movie and munch. 🙂

Waaa??? A comments section? I thought it was all over :O) so happy to be able to say hello again — just saw your breathtaking beach setting on FB. Nice life KoKo!! You’ve really dressed this delightful chia jam up with the coconut yogurt (swoon) and homemade granola. Sounds delicious and I agree, it amazes me too how much sugar gets snuck into things — even those purporting to be ‘healthy’. So happy to be able to drop in. Hope you’ve been keeping well. Hugs, xx.

I’ve been waiting to try Chia jam for ages and this just looks too relish not to try!
