Keto Coconut Yogurt Parfait with Chia & Nuts
Not every keto breakfast needs to be hot, heavy, or savory. Sometimes, we wake up wanting something light, refreshing, and just a little bit sweet—and that’s exactly where this Keto Coconut Yogurt Parfait comes in.
We came up with this one during a warmer spell when eggs just weren’t doing it for us. We had a tub of unsweetened coconut yogurt, some leftover chia seeds, and a handful of roasted nuts in the pantry. Layered up in a jar, it turned into something we couldn’t get enough of—cool, creamy, crunchy, and so satisfying.
This parfait is a dream for those mornings when you want something nourishing and quick, but still crave texture and flavor. It’s loaded with healthy fats, fiber, and a touch of sweetness without the sugar rush. We love to prep a couple of jars in advance and stash them in the fridge for an easy grab-and-go meal or snack.
Whether you're dairy-free or just need a break from eggs, this breakfast is proof that keto can be cool, light, and just as comforting.
Description
This coconut yogurt parfait layers rich, unsweetened yogurt with chia seeds, roasted nuts, and a hint of low-carb sweetener for a refreshing and fiber-packed breakfast or snack.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut yogurt
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 1/4 cup roasted almonds, roughly chopped
- 2 tbsp crushed walnuts or pecans
- 1 tbsp shredded unsweetened coconut
- 1 tsp 1–2 keto-friendly sweetener (like stevia or monk fruit)
- 1/4 cup fresh berries (optional, for topping)
- Optional: pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a small bowl, stir together the coconut yogurt, chia seeds, and sweetener. Add a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon if desired.
- For a thicker texture, let the mixture sit for 10–15 minutes so the chia seeds can bloom. You can also prep this step the night before.
- In a glass or jar, layer the chia yogurt mixture with chopped nuts and shredded coconut.
- Finish with a few fresh berries or a little extra chopped nuts if you’re keeping it lower-carb. Serve immediately or store in the fridge for up to 2 days.
