What to do
1. Prepare ahead - Dehydrate 1/2 cup or more sprouted buckwheat for 24 hours on 110 degrees on a paraflexx dehydrator sheet. Learn how to sprout buckwheat here. Put a can of coconut milk in the fridge overnight. Blend 1 cup of berries, mixed if you like, and add 2 Tbsp. chia seeds to thicken. Add sweetener if needed. Place in the fridge over night.
2. For the coconut milk yogurt - Open the can of coconut milk and scoop out the hard cream into a blender or nutribullet. Save the cream for a smoothie. Add almond milk, sweetener and vanilla and blend until mixed. Mixture will be thick. Scoop into 3 jars evenly for the base of the parfaits.
3. Dice fresh fruit of your choice and fill the jar almond to the top. Add buckwheat and top with berry jam. Serve.
