Begin by preparing the berries: wash and hull the strawberries, then slice them into quarters. Rinse the blueberries and raspberries gently and set them aside.
In a small bowl, mix the coconut yogurt with maple syrup, chia seeds, and vanilla extract. Stir well until all ingredients are combined and let sit for 5 minutes to allow the chia seeds to swell slightly.
Take four serving glasses or jars and begin to layer the parfaits. Start by adding a generous tablespoon of the coconut yogurt mixture into the bottom of each glass.
Add a layer of granola on top of the yogurt, followed by a layer of mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries).
Repeat the layers: coconut yogurt, granola, and mixed berries until the glasses are filled, ending with a layer of berries on top.
If desired, garnish the top with a few extra chia seeds or a drizzle of maple syrup for added sweetness.
Serve immediately for the best texture, or refrigerate for up to an hour if you prefer a slightly chilled parfait. Enjoy your delicious and healthy vegan berry parfait!
