Equipment

  • 4 small glasses
  • Bowl.
  • sieve

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup (150g) blackberries, fresh
  • 1 ¾ cup (400g) plain vegan yogurt, thick works best (cashew yogurt)
  • 6-8 tablespoons chia jam, I use chia jam
  • 4 tablespoons raw buckwheat groats, for soaking

Instructions
 

  • Soak the buckwheat groats for 4-8 hours (I soak mine overnight) in a bowl of water to soften. The water should easily cover the buckwheat by a couple of inches.
  • Next, rinse and drain the buckwheat groats thoroughly. They'll be slimy, this is normal. Just rinse them until they are no longer slimy. Set aside.
  • Layer up the parfait by adding 1 tablespoon of blackberry jam to the bottom of each glass. Next, add some blackberries followed by a layer of vegan yogurt. Top with a heaped tablespoon of buckwheat groats. The last layers are jam followed by a final layer of vegan yogurt.
  • Top each parfait with a couple of blackberries and a fresh mint leaf or two. Enjoy!

Notes

Once the buckwheat is rinsed spread them onto a piece of paper towel to absorb any excess water  and pat dry before using.
