Superfood Coconut Parfait
Food isn’t just medicine. It’s also art. I created this recipe to merge the best of both worlds.
With creamy layers of coconut yogurt, flavored with vibrant superfoods and non-glycemic monkfruit sweetener, this is the recipe of my pastel dreams.
Maqui is a berry found in Chile with ample benefits. They are:
- Anti-aging
- Anti-cancerous
- Anti-bacterial/ antiviral
Plus they
- Boost Metabolism
- Aid in weight-loss
- Treat diabetes
- Aid digestion
- Heal kidney-related issues
- Extend lifespan
They are what give this recipe a gorgeous purple hue.
Blue spirulina is the turquoise layer. Spirulina has ample benefits, including:
- Highest food in protein on planet on a per-weight basis
- High in iron, making it perfect for vegans
- Rich in trace minerals that our soil is deplted in
- Aid digestion
- Cleanse system
- Eliminates cravings
- Kills Candida yeast overgrowth and excess bad bacteria
- Heal liver toxicity
- Enhances skin’s glow
And also..
- Anti-cancerous
- Anti-fungal
- Anti-bacterial
As if it isn’t doing enough.
Paired together, this makes one deliciously healthy recipe that puts pharmaceuticals (and art museums to shame).
This recipe is actually quite simple and only requires that you create two bowls with the mixtures and layer them together.
