Passion Fruit Yogurt Parfaits with Cassava Crumble (AIP, low FODMAP, Paleo, Vegan)

Passion Fruit Yogurt Parfait with Cassava Crumble (AIP, low FODMAP, Paleo, Vegan)

For the past month or so, I’ve been making at least one batch of AIP two-ingredinet Instant Pot coconut yogurt a week, as I developed & finessed the recipe. I’ve used the yogurt in several applications, but this parfait might be one of my favorite sweet servings. I love using just a hint of maple & letting the sweet/tart flavor of the yogurt + fruit shine through. And let’s not forget about the crunch of the toasted cassava crumble, which makes a great stand-in for granola.

I’m not really sure if this passion fruit coconut yogurt parfait should be classified as a treat or as a breakfast food. For the sake of AIP nutrient density guidelines, it should probably be a treat, but I must admit, I have eaten one or two for breakfast, alongside a serving of protein and vegetables.

Passion fruit isn’t always easy to find, but often Asian grocery stores will carry it. Back in August, I was thrilled to find actual passion fruits on sale at Whole Foods. I really, really love the tart, flower-y flavor of passion fruit--it’s almost like sour candy for adults. We even had passion fruit curd filing on one of our wedding cakes. And passion fruit is low FODMAP too! Yay! Just don’t eat more than 5 at one time….

When ripe, the fruit should be dark purple on the exterior & wrinkly. Cut the ripe fruit in half & use a spoon to scoop out the pulp & seeds--both are edible. I personally like the crunch of the seeds, but you could go through the laborious task of straining out the seeds, if desired.

This parfait could be made with other fruit too, if passion fruit can’t be found or aren’t to your liking. I’ve also tried mixed berries (blueberries/strawberries/raspberries are all low FODMAP), as well as a rhubarb compote similar to this one (substituting maple for the honey to keep it low FODMAP).

Note on FODMAPs: FODMAPs are confusing things... Certain resources will say that one item is “ok” and other resources will list that item as “avoid.” I am choosing to get my information about FODMAPs from Monash University & their app. Monash is continually updating their information & they are great about listing what quantity of food (both by volume & by weight) keeps it within the low FODMAP guidelines. As always, though, you know your body best. Just because one list says a food is fine, doesn’t always mean your body will be fine with it. Or on the flip side, just because one list says a food is on the avoid list, doesn’t mean your body is automatically going to be bothered by it. Do what makes your body & mind feel the best.

  2. I am curious how you know that Cassava Flour is low FODMAP? I have been trying to find research about it and even Monash University told me they personally haven't tested it yet. Is there another source that you have found? I know that Cassava is high FODMAP, but processing techniques often change the FODMAP level. Any info you have would be greatly appreciated as your recipes look amazing and I would love to try them!!
