Author - Gena Hamshaw
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Cooling time 2 hours
Total Time: 2 hours 25 minutes
Yields: 4 servings

Ingredients

For the parfaits

For the avocado cream

  • 1 Hass avocado
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup, agave, or date syrup
  • 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch fine sea salt
  • 1/3 cup oat, soy, almond, or cashew milk (more as needed)

Instructions

  • Rinse the quinoa through a fine sieve under cold, running water. Drain and transfer the quinoa to a pot. Add 1 1/4 cups water. Bring the quinoa to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Simmer the quinoa for 13-15 minutes, or until all of the water has been absorbed. Remove the quinoa from heat and fluff it with a fork. Re-cover and allow it to sit for five minutes. Transfer the quinoa to an airtight container and to the fridge. Allow it to cool for two hours, or until the quinoa is chilled.
  • Before assembling the parfaits, make the avocado cream by blending all of the ingredients together in a blender or food processor till smooth.
  • Layer a quarter cup of quinoa at the bottom of a clear glass or mug. Place a 1/4 cup of the pudding over the quinoa, then top with a quarter cup of berries. Repeat the layers, then repeat the whole process in your three additional containers.
