I hate having random leftovers in the fridge. But I love it when I actually use these leftovers to make something that’s not just edible, but DELICIOUS.
This rainbow parfait was like a lively fruit salad party in my mouth.
The pomegranate arils went BAM.
The nectarine pieces cheered ‘YAY it’s summer.’
The cherries and raspberries were so sexy.
The matcha chia pudding was oh so healthy and yuppie.
The sticky black rice was a zen and grounded ‘designated driver’… with the carbs to sustain you to your next meal/snack!
I’m going to give you the recipe for this, but it is by no means the ONLY way to make a delicious parfait. Just look around your kitchen, see what leftovers you’ve got, chuck them together and hope for the best.
I believe in you!
