Blueberry Coconut Parfait
Prep
Total
Yield 4 1/4 Cup Parfaits
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of coconut cream concentrate or coconut butter
- 1/2 cup of fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1/2 cup of clean water
- 6 drops of vanilla stevia (or to your taste)
- Pinch of pink salt (Himalayan)
- Raspberries or extra blueberries for topping
Instructions:
Step #1: To make the blueberry coconut parfait, begin by gathering all the ingredients
Step #2: Put blueberries, water, salt and stevia into the blender first, then add the coconut cream or coconut butter and blend.
Step #3: You will need to hand mix with a spoon while the blender is going. This is very challenging on the blender because the coconut cream/butter is so thick.
A high-quality vita-mix is best for the blending process. Once everything is mixed together, put berries on top and enjoy!
You can also put this in the freezer for a while and then pull it out and place it in the refrigerator for an hour to thaw out. This is the most popular way to have this as it is cool and tasty!

Dr Jockers Comments:
This blueberry coconut parfait is simple to make and full of life giving ingredients. Coconut fats are rich sources of medium chain fatty acids (MCTs) which improve energy, digestive health, brain function, hormones and weight loss. This recipe tastes great and will help reduce inflammation in your body.
The berries provide high quality antioxidant phytonutrients that reduce inflammation and support a healthy gut microflora. This is a hypoallergenic recipe that someone with a histamine intolerance, auto-immune disease, leaky gut, sulfur intolerance and a low-oxalate diet can benefit from.
If you have a sensitivity to blueberries try raspberries, strawberries or blackberries. Let us know what your experience with this blueberry coconut parfait recipe was like in the comments section below!

Added some basil leaves from the garden – Yummy!!
Blueberry Basil sounds awesome Ann!
I LOVE basil and it has more nutrition in it than spinach which is a big improvement in my book.
How can you hand mix with a spoon when the blender is running?
Hi Teresa, This feasibility will depend on the type of blender that you have. You may have to stop blending to help move some of the cream and butter from the sides.
I am not a big fan of coconut butter/cream/milk. Are there any other options to use in this recipe and still keep it healthy?
I just made this tonight. Even though I made the mistake of regular coconut cream and not concentrate, it was still great! Not very thick so it was basically a smoothie, but had we been patient enough to let it freeze longer it may have been like a sorbet! Either way, I’ll make it again!
Hey Kris, That is great to hear! Thanks for sharing.

Hey Clarise, Many retailers now carry this product. You can surely get coconut cream at any health foods store near you!
