Mmm... parfait ^_^
Hey everyone it's Lauren from hotforfood and guess what?
It's Smoothie Sunday! It's our second Smoothie Sunday video in partnership with Silk and basically the whole series is about hacking your summer smoothie,
to look more like a sweet treat, or delicious, indulgent summer dessert. Except, it's made with good, guilt-free ingredients!
Now today's recipe is awesome, perhaps my favorite out of all 3 of these smoothies I'm showing you how to make
because it's cool, it's minimal looking, and sleek and it's a banana coconut cream parfait.
Here's how we're gonna make it!
You're gonna need 2 cans of coconut milk that you've refrigerated overnight 'cause that's how you're gonna get that thick cream from the top
to make the coconut cream layer.
But try not to get that liquid in there.
We're gonna add in a little bit of Silk Coconut Unsweetened and you can add a little bit of agave nectar as well if you wanna sweeten this coconut cream layer
but you definitely don't have to
Ok now we're gonna blend this up until it's smooth and fluffy like coconut cream or coconut whip.
But you're going to need to work it just a little bit, with this... magic wand.
It's good with a little bit of sweetness but you don't have to do it because the coconut in itself is pretty sweet.
Ok, I'm gonna put it in a piping bag with a fancy little tip on it 'cause we're hotforfood. But you don't have to do that, I'm just trying to make it look extra pretty.
We're making the banana smoothie layer with three ingredients:
Frozen bananas, toasted coconut, and Silk Coconut Unsweetened.
Now blend it until really smooth and don't forget to work it!
If you're vegan you know all about nana ice-cream, or banana ice-cream, but blending lots of frozen bananas like this is delicious.
It's basically like a healthy soft serve with no dairy in it.
So we're gonna make our parfaits by layering the banana smoothie/icecream with the coconut cream and toasted coconut flakes.
It makes two parfaits about this size; pretty big parfaits so you can share with your friends.
There you have it; our banana coconut cream parfaits!
This is a smoothie! But it's a parfait... it's tricking your mind into thinking that you're eating... *mmm* something that probably isn't good for you.
But it's pretty good for you!
At least it's better than eating, like, a big ice-cream cone on a hot day. I think this is a much more refreshing alternative.
Now I didn't say it wouldn't be messy!
It's very good.
