Instructions

Key Lime Yogurt

1. Combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
2. Set aside in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve.

Almond Cookie Crumble

1. Preheat your oven to 350.

1. Break 1/3 cup almond cookie crumble into the bottom of each parfait.
2. Add 1/2 cup of the key lime yogurt on top of the cookie crumble.
3. Top with a mix of macadamia nuts, coconut shreds, and pumpkin seeds. Top with honey drizzle.
4. Eat up!

I made this recipe with my sister today, and we ate it while watching the Wimbeldon final. I’d call that a highly magical morning. Plus this parfait… IT’S STRAIGHT UP MAGIC. MAGIC IN YOUR MOUTH. The healthiest and most unique way to eat the flavors of key lime pie. (Anddddd it’s so easy!)

The almond cookie crumble is slightly sweet and slightly moist, so it forms perfectly into a “crust” for your pie parfait. It’s yummy and healthy! Everything a human person could wish for.

The next two layers are almost too good to speak of. Yogurt that tastes tangy and sweet and creamy and dreamy is the crux of this parfait. And when you top that combo off with the crunch of nuts and coconut, and a sweet drizzle of honey -this thing takes no prisoners. Your mouth will forever thank you.

If you are thinking “isn’t it weird to add avocado to yogurt for breakfast?” You have got to expand your horizons! Because basically you don’t taste the avocado. It just adds color and thickness and creaminess. So it’s a win-win-win-win. Just add the avocado and be happy about it. Plus you are getting those heart-healthy fats in for breakfast!

JUST DO IT. It’s the yummiest ever. K byeeeee.
