Why'd it take me so long?

I have no idea. I have stared at the pictures for weeks now (yes, I totally just sit in my room all day drooling over vegan parfaits). Well today was the day I became a Vegan Parfait Fan.

And the thing is, it was incredibly easy and not just a save-it-for-Sunday-brunch-when-I-have-more-time recipe. Make this on a Tuesday. (Recipe lightly adapted from OhSheGlows.com)

The players

 1/4 cup oats

1 T chia seeds

1/2 t flax seeds 

 1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder

 1/3 cup non-dairy milk (I used almond), 1/3 cup H20

1/2 t vanilla extract (choose an all-natural version)

 1 banana, broken into chunks and frozen

Fruit of choice (I used strawberries)

pinch cinnamon

sweetener of choice (optional; 1 serving; I used stevia)

fancy schmancy martini glass, optional

The night before, combine all ingredients except the fruit. 

Mix and chill in fridge over night.

 (The oats/seeds will soak up most of the liquid)

Then, dice up some fresh fruit and save for later. I chose strawberries (It's what I had. Blueberries or raspberries would also be tasty). Remember to peel, chop, and freeze banana night before.

The next morning, (in a food processor) combine 1 frozen banana (broken up into chunks) and a teeeeny (~1-2T) bit of non-dairy milk. Blend and you have Banana Frozen Yogurt!

 Now the fun part, Layer Baby Layer!

And devour!

I might have this again for lunch.....aaaand dinner.
