Ingredients and substitutions
- Yogurt: Greek yogurt is a great high protein option, but if you’re dairy-free, a thick coconut yogurt is amazing. You can always stir in 1/2 scoop of protein powder to add the protein you’d be missing using greek yogurt (this is what I do!). If using coconut yogurt, make sure it is a brand that is THICK. I like CocoJune or Culina.
- Cashew butter: I like to use cashew butter as it gives it a more cheesecake-like flavor. However, almond butter works great or sunflower seed butter for a nut-free option.
- Strawberries: You can sub any berries you’d like.
- Jam: Homemade or store-bought works great. I like making strawberry chia jam and using that as it adds extra fiber and nutrients.
- Cookie crumble: To keep this refined sugar free, I like to use Simple Mills toasted pecan cookies or Siete mexican wedding cookies. You can also use graham crackers or anything similar!

Best containers to make yogurt parfait in
You can use any bowl you have at home, if eating it right away. If you want to store these for the next day, I recommend using a smaller glass tuppaware container, like these!
