YOU GUYS. This breakfast? AH-MAZING.
And I don’t say that lightly. This is one of the best breakfasts I’ve had in a very, very long time.
The best part? It’s super easy, extremely healthy, and it’s raw (I’ve been trying to get more raw meals/snacks into my diet)!
The creaminess of the cashew cream works so well with the crunchy nut/seed mix and the soft fruit.
Just delicious!
I’ve also made these parfaits with strawberry & kiwi, mango & kiwi, and blueberry & raspberry. It never disappoints!
Raw Vegan Breakfast Parfaits
Prep time
Total time
Author: Vegan Insanity
Recipe type: Breakfast
Serves: 4
Ingredients
Nuts/Seeds
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 1 cup raw walnuts
- ¼ cup chia seeds
- ¼ cup flax seeds
- ½ cup pumpkin seeds
Cashew Cream
- 1 cup raw cashews (soaked for at least 2 hours)
- ⅓ cup water
- 1½ tbsp agave
- ½ tsp vanilla
- ¼ tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp salt
Fruit
- Any fruit you'd like (I used strawberries & blackberries)
Instructions
Nuts/Seeds
- Put all seeds and nuts into a food processor and process for a few seconds. Don't process too much or everything will turn into a flour, which is not what you want. You still want some big chunks.
Cashew Cream
- Add all ingredients to a high-powered blender and blend until smooth (add a bit more water if you want to thin it out some more).
Putting it all together
- Add a layer of berries, then nuts/seeds, then cashew cream, then more nuts, then a ton of fruit on top.

October 11, 2016 at 8:48 AMThe amount of nuts/seeds is WAY too much for the amount of cashew cream. I would probably make the same amount of cashew cream and cut the nuts/seeds measurements by 1/4. This was an expensive experiment, and I think it’s a fail.

May 31, 2016 at 5:02 AMI am a huge fan of raw desserts and the cashew cream in this parfait is one of the most delicious I have tasted. I especially love the cinnamon touch. Thank you!

January 21, 2016 at 9:42 PMI don’t have agave. Any subs for those who’ve tested an alternate?
Rachael says
December 22, 2015 at 2:18 PMCan the cashew cream be stored in the fridge for a few days, or does it have to be eaten right away?
Cassie says
December 22, 2015 at 2:57 PMGood in the fridge 🙂

July 14, 2014 at 11:33 PMI made this today and I don’t know why I waited so long. This was unbelievably good!!! My three year old even ate this and he’s been an extremely picky eater lately. Thanks so much and keep the recipes coming.
