Vegan Raspberry Mango Parfait

If you've ever been on a vegan diet, you'll know that, without a doubt, it comes with some challenges.Those obviously are different for each person, but are challenges nonetheless.

Even being a vegetarian, when I decided to go vegan for a little while, I struggled a little bit giving up certain things. Dairy  was definitely one of them. Particularly, yogurt.

Back then, the options for non-dairy yogurt weren't many. The taste and texture were a bit "off" and most of them were way too sweet for my taste. I became extremely frustrated, so, naturally, I tried to make my own.

Talk about a challenge.

So after six months of eating blended silken tofu and pretending really hard I was eating the real thing, I gave up. My vegan "challenge" ended and I went back to eating dairy again.

But I must say, things are not the same nowadays. Today... well, today it's a different story. There are so many products out on the market to choose from. With great taste, great texture and very similar to their dairy counterparts. Definitely a plus if you're thinking about giving the vegan thing a try.

And even if you do eat dairy, we suggest you give them a try. Just to switch it up, you know, broaden you horizons a little bit.

So, whether you feel adventurous or are already familiar with these products, here's a recipe you might enjoy. Light and refreshing, perfect for breakfast, as a snack or even as a healthy dessert.

Hope you enjoy it!
