This delightful and nutritious gluten-free and dairy-free parfait recipe is from The Essential Thyroid Cookbook by Lisa Markey and Jill Grunewald-McLaughlin. Each parfait is packed with nutrients like B6, magnesium, and fiber. These are great for breakfast or as a healthy summer snack, especially on the 4th of July. Ingredients include berries, nuts, dates, chia seeds, maple syrup, and vanilla.

The recipe below is a collaborative effort between myself and a functional nutritionist to find and then evolved over time to include cranberries and pears to align with the autumnal season. I brought this dish to a Thanksgiving dinner at a friends house a couple of years ago, mainly so I had a potato dish to indulge in that was dairy-free; was surprised how much everyone liked the dish and made it disappear before anyone could have seconds.
