Happy weekend you guys! We’re on summer break starting Wednesday, and my brain is already in vacation mode. I’m so looking forward to slowing down our mornings and having more time to relax, and enjoy family. The mornings are without a doubt the most busy for us during the week and being honest I often resort to a handful of dry cereal, or half a banana before we rush out the door. I know this isn’t the best look, considering that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but you know how it goes! #momlife

When I do have the time, my favorite breakfasts are smoothie bowls, (which I’ve posted here before) and vegan coconut yogurt with fresh fruit. Leading me to today’s recipe, which is actually a combo of the two.

Strawberry Apricot Smoothie Parfaits

So Delicious coconut milk yogurt, layered with a blended strawberry & tart apricot smoothie, then topped with fresh fruit.

I garnished my smoothie parfaits with dried edible rose petals and the edible rose & vanilla bean meringues I made a few posts back. An elegant pairing of fruity and floral, with a light crunch from the cookie topping and my breakfast go-to for the summer.

Vegan without the meringues.

These simple to make smoothie parfaits would be a fab addition to any brunch menu, since they can be made several hours in advance, are dairy and gluten free, and as you can see, look lovely layered and displayed.

They’re also super versatile with endless fruit and yogurt options and combos, based on your favorites.
