Mango and Puffed Amaranth Parfait

Mango and Puffed Amaranth Parfait

Parfait’s are a favourite breakfast of mine.  They really are so easy to make and you can fill them with just about anything you have on hand.  This mango and puffed amaranth parfait is a new favourite combination.  Summery, light and so delicious.  It would also make a great healthy dessert. 

Puffed amaranth is available from health food stores and some supermarkets.  They are really tiny, airy puffs and are great for you.  H absolutely loves it but if you think your child wouldn’t go for it, you can combine it with the yogurt and it will go virtually unnoticed.

    This is so beautiful. I love the little spots of passionfruit as well. They add so much burst of flavour.

    I was unaware of puffed amaranth, and I love this type of breakfast dish, so I will look for it for sure! Also, I live in the Rio Grande Valley near the Gulf of Mexico, and tropical fruit is abundant… It sounds like a great combination. I love the pics of your little one too :-)

      Now that you are aware of it you will probably spot it everywhere. It is becoming quite popular. You can buy the grain (not a true grain) and pop it yourself if you like – I haven’t tried it but it looks easy to do… xx
