This vibrant breakfast bowl reimagines the classic parfait concept while staying true to Whole30 principles.

This bowl delivers the same satisfying textures and flavors you crave in a parfait while keeping you fully compliant with your Whole30 journey.

The magic of this recipe lies in its simplicity and the quality of its whole food ingredients. Full-fat coconut cream provides a luxuriously thick and creamy base that's naturally dairy-free, while mixed berries offer a burst of natural sweetness and powerful antioxidants. The addition of toasted nuts adds a satisfying crunch and healthy fats that will keep you energized throughout your morning.

Perfect for breaking your fast during the 16:8 intermittent fasting protocol, this breakfast bowl is designed to provide sustained energy without the blood sugar spike. The combination of healthy fats from coconut and nuts, along with the fiber from berries, creates a balanced meal that supports your metabolic health and keeps you feeling full and focused until your next meal.
