| Rachel excited for dessert for breakfast |
Brian and I have been staying with our friend Rachel, who is a super awesome cook. Not only does she prepare super delicious meals, but she grows most of the food that goes into the awesomeness. It's been fun to eat our meals together like a family - including breakfast. One morning I was thinking it would be yummy to make gluten free crepes with chocolate filling. Unfortunately, we woke up before Rachel's backyard chickies had laid eggs, so I converted the chocolate filling into a dairy free parfait filling. This was quite the luxurious way to start off the day! While all the sugars in this vegan breakfast are from natural sweeteners, I think it might still be good to keep this recipe for special occasions and not a daily breakfast.
Gluten Free Dairy Free Chocolate Avocado Parfait Recipe

| gluten free dairy free chocolate parfaits |
Ingredients1 avocado
3 tbs unsweetened cocoa powder
3 tbs maple syrup
1 tbs peanut butter
2 kiwi sliced
4 strawberries sliced
2 cups gluten free granola (I used Trader Joe's Loaded Fruit & Nut Gluten Free Granola)
Fresh mint to garnish (optional)
1. Mash up the avocado so it is super smooth
2. Mix the cocoa powder in well
3. Stir in the maple syrup and peanut butter
4. Put the fruit slices in the bottoms of two bowls, top with a couple scoops of chocolate filling, top that with the granola and sprinkle with chopped mint
You won't need coffee to get you going after this natural sugary and chocolate breakfast! That's why we went for a chicory drink instead - which also has numerous digestive and cleansing benefits. As soon as I get settled into a home here, I plan to start selling chicory locally so other people can enjoy it's health benefits.
