Why You’ll Love This Recipe

  • Vegan & Gluten-Free: Made with whole food ingredients, free of dairy and gluten.

  • Creamy Meets Crunchy: The rich mousse contrasts beautifully with the crisp Garden Granola Beet Ginger.

  • Customizable Layers: Add melted chocolate for extra decadence or swirl in peanut butter for a nutty boost.

Tips for Success

  • Use Ripe Avocados: Soft, ripe avocados create the smoothest texture.

  • Chill Before Serving: These parfaits are even better after chilling for an hour or more.
