Yield 2-4 servings

Prep Time 20 Minutes

Total Time 60 Minutes

Ingredients

2 cups almond or coconut milk
¾ cup Nate’s 100% Pure Honey, divided
¼ cup natural peanut butter
½ cup chia seeds
1 ripe banana, divided
2 Tbsp cocoa powder
1½ cups strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and/or blueberries

Directions

In a blender, combine almond milk, ½ cup honey, peanut butter, chia seeds and ½ banana together until smooth. Pour a little more than half of the mixture into a bowl, cover and refrigerate.

Add cocoa powder to the blender, puree again until smooth. Pour into a second bowl, cover and refrigerate until thickened, at least 30 minutes.

Before serving, stir together ¼ cup honey and berries. Spoon a layer of the berry mixture into the bottom of parfait glasses. Top the fruit with a layer of the peanut butter mixture, and lay slices of banana on top. Next, add a layer of the chocolate mixture and top with another layer of the peanut butter mixture. Finally, top your parfaits with the remaining berry mixture.

Refrigerate until ready to serve, and enjoy within 8 hours of making.
