It’s summer and our fridge is packed with our favorite summer fruits. We’ve been living off of berries, peaches and cherries. It’s amazing how much two little kids can eat!
We have one more glorious month of summer and we plan to enjoy it to the fullest. I was pretty busy in June and July but the plan is to kick back and relax for the remainder of the summer. I plan to get my fill of delicious, easy to whip up summer salads, fruits and catch up on my movies! We love RedBox! Anyone else?
The girls have been with me more in the kitchen. . helping, mixing, asking to turn on large counter top appliances. Their latest obsession is helping me remove the pit from cherries. I finally got a cherry pitter, well two, and they’ve been having a blast with it.
Our blender has also taken up permanent real estate on my kitchen counter and we seem to have the thing whirling at least a few times a week and every Saturday.
Our latest addiction to add to our smoothies? This Almond Breeze Almondmilk in Chocolate!
You guys. . you know how much I love almond milk right? Well, this makes the kid in me so happy. I get to enjoy chocolate milk all over again. I have to hide this in the back of the fridge because my kids like it too.
A little too much.
We whipped up this chocolate almond smoothie and threw together some parfaits! This way, we get our smoothie, granola and our summer fruits! We love these!
Summer treats don’t get any easier than this! Make this for breakfast or have it as a snack! Enjoy!
- 1 cup Almond Breeze Almondmilk Chocolate
- ½ cup yogurt, any kind
- 2 bananas, chopped
- ¼ cup almond butter
- ¾ cup assorted berries
- Optional for parfait: granola and more mixed berries and cherries
- Place the Almond Breeze Chocolate Almondmilk, yogurt, chopped bananas, almond butter and berries into a blender and mix until smooth. Taste and adjust any ingredients as needed.
- Pour into glasses or wide mouth mason jars and top with granola and an assortment of mixed berries and cherries. Enjoy!

We are obsessed with Chocolate Almond Breeze in our house!
We are too!!! Love it, thanks Julianne!!
These look so good! I’m not sure how much your kids eat but my 5 year old is constantly saying “I’m hungry” after he just ate 🙂
haha, my kids are like that with snacks and fruit. . but they do ok at meal time. . at least my oldest. . 😛 Thanks, Johlene!
I haven’t tried the chocolate almond milk yet but now i want to!! a little decadence in a smoothie can go a long way!! I hope you guys enjoy the last month of summer 🙂
you need to try the chocolate almond milk, Z. . it’s SO GOOD!!!!
I LOVE chocolate almond milk. It doesn’t last too long in our house though, as Dave loves it too. It seems everyone is getting cherry pitters at the moment, I think I need to invest in one, as it would make things so much easier.
I feel like if you’re doing healthy eating, the blender has gotta live on your counter. Especially if you’re blending chocolate milk into stuff. I love the almond milk, too. I make almond milk slushies with ice and chocolate syrup (healthy, I know) and frozen banana and peanut butter. Lots of fun!
This looks delicious, and much healthier than my way. Your girls must be happy!
what a fun, fab do-ahead breakfast.Love.
Oh these parfaits look incredible, Alice! I love the use of chocolate almond milk in here. What a great idea for breakfast! Love that it’s healthier, too!
I’d love to wake up to these smoothie parfaits for breakfast, they look SO yummy with all those pretty berries and cherries! Such a great idea to make this with Almond Breeze’s chocolate almond milk too! So fun that the girls help out with pitting cherries, hope you guys enjoy the last month of summer 🙂
I am craving this right now! I would never think to make a smoothie parfait for breakfast – but that is about to change! Thanks for this great idea…love the addition of chocolate almond milk!
Oh my gosh. Smoothie parfaits??? Where do you even get these genius ideas, Alice?! I’m seriously dying over how amazing these look and can I just say that my Monday NEEDS this kinda goodness in it??
Anytime I get to have chocolate in the morning, it’s a good day! Love these parfaits. They look really filling, which is awesome! Great way to start the day!
Alice! It’s like you read my mind this morning! This is like… totally what I want, but didn’t dream up the idea of how to make it! I’m in LOVE! Hah, I’m a little over dramatic about this recipe (my bad), but I’m 110% in on this amazingness. GREAT JOB!
Smoothie parfaits?! So smart! And love the adorable mason jar presentation 🙂
Summer fruit is the best, so we always fill our fridge up with it. And this treat – yes, please!
Anything with almond butter is a big yes for me. Especially when there’s loads of blueberries too.
Alice can you send me one of those amazing parfaits, I could use one right now!
I, too, LOVE almond milk (though it upsets my tummy- I’m lactose intolerant.. small price to pay) and these smooth parfaits look delicious! I love that you combined the smoothie with the granola AND the fruit! Oh, AND almond butter??? Crazy deliciousness!!! These are sheer perfection, girlfriend!! The perfect way to start every day, especially a Monday! Pinned! ♡ Cheers!
Oh, and I don’t use red box but my mother loves it top!!
These smoothies look wonderful!!!!
It’s this time of year that our home is also filled with so much fruit. I can’t complain though, healthy snacks and ones where the kids can help themselves – even better. Great parfait for breakfast or anytime really!
We’re all so in love with this chocolate almond milk…I’ve used it in ice cream, popsicles, and over dry cereal. And now I have another use. Parfaits FTW!
These are seriously so lovely Alice!!!
So perfect, love the chocolaty flavor and that I can just take this to work with me if I run out of time to have breakfast at home.
These are the best kind of breakfasts! So yummy, so delicious you don’t even realize they are so incredibly healthy! We can never keep almond milk in our house for more than a day. It gets devoured!
These parfaits look so good! I’ll have to try that Chocolate Almond Breeze!
Yum, these are such a good idea! Love how you used chocolate almond milk!
Oooooh yah, this looks so delicious!! I love parfaits. Makes a great breakfast or even a healthier dessert. Love it! http://www.ourfoodieappetite.com/east-beach-farmers-market-norfolk-va/
Wow, love the idea of a smoothie parfait Alice, I’ve never tried one of those before! The granola on top sounds so yummy. I really need to get some chocolate almond milk! I also reeeaaallly want to get a cherry pitter, I keep seeing them but I’m yet to get around to buying one – you’ve reminded me about them now, so I definitely think it’s time I get one!
I’d be a happy person if I could eat one of these every single day! These just look amazing!
We love chocolate almond milk! I love how you paired with the smoothie parfait! Adding to my MUST TRY list! Genius!
This is the best breakfast ever! Oh my goodness and isn’t it crazy how much fruit two kids can eat? I find myself at the store every 3-4 days picking up like 5 different kinds!
I do about the same . . maybe even more in the summer!!! at least it’s fruit so I can’t so no!! thank you, Allie!
I know what I’m doing with the rest of my almond milk! These parfaits sounds wonderful. Just the kind of thing I like for breakfast!
Thanks so much Jen!

We love Blue Diamond almond milk around here! What a delicious and easy way to use the chocolate version. Everyone loves parfait…especially parfait with fresh berries! I totally need to make this recipe this week. It looks great!
Thanks so much, David!
I’m not sure if its the pile of beautiful berries or the promise of chocolate for breakfast, but these parfaits look wonderful!
Thank you Emma!!! It must be the promise of chocolate for breakfast!! 🙂
YUM! When a smoothie, granola and berries are involved – am there – I could take up permanent residence on your counter top if this comes out of your kitchen, Alice! 🙂
haha, thank you Shashi!
These look incredible! I am in such a smoothie rut and now I have to try these to mix things up a bit. So fun!
Thanks Rachel!! we loved these!

Oh em gee, chocolate almond breeze?! Love!! This is my dream breakfast!
I love this new chocolate flavored almond milk too!! And this parfait is so perfect for this hot weather!!
I looove Chocolate Almond Breeze (and RedBox). These smoothie parfaits are perfect for summer!
Super delicious– perfect summer breakfast 🙂 Have you tried the unsweetened Chocolate Almond Breeze? I love it– and I can have chocolate milk anytime of the day without feeling bad about the sugar– and maybe your kids would like it a bit less!
I love almond milk too, but have to make my own! You can’t really find it here, never mind chocolate flavor… But, homemade is great and I love berry chia seed puddings and smoothies with chocolate and almond milk. Beautiful smoothie Alice!
