Ingredients

2 cups cooked and cooled white quinoa
1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
2 Tablespoons pure maple syrup divided
1 teaspoon vanilla
pinch of sea salt
1 cup plain Greek yogurt (I like Stonyfield organic)
2 cups chopped strawberries

Instructions

Cook quinoa if you haven't already. Cook 1 cup of dry quinoa according to the package directions. Allow to cool and then place in fridge to chill for a 1-2 hours. This step is best beforehand so you can prep the parfaits quickly.
In a medium sized bowl, stir together 2 cups chilled quinoa, unsweetened almond milk, 1 Tablespoon of maple syrup, vanilla and sea salt.
In a separate bowl combine Greek yogurt with remaining 1 Tablespoon maple syrup.
Layer quinoa mixture, Greek yogurt and berries in a dish. Repeat layers however many times you’d like. Top with a few berries and enjoy.

Notes

Almond milk: I like to use unsweetened almond milk, but any milk will do.
Maple syrup: Feel free to use any liquid sweetener of choice like honey, agave, monk fruit or stevia.
Yogurt: Use dairy-free yogurt to make this recipe vegan.
