Non-Dairy Raspberry Parfait

Enjoy a healthy, dairy-free alternative to yogurt with this raspberry parfait recipe.

The dairy allergy is one of the most common food allergies in children. Fortunately, most children outgrow this, but those who don’t may need to continue to avoid milk products. Symptoms of a dairy allergy will differ from person to person, but hives, wheezing, and vomiting are the most common. Unlike an allergy, dairy (or lactose) intolerance doesn’t involve the immune system, and causes different symptoms, such as bloating, gas, or diarrhea.

Whether you have a sensitivity to dairy or not, Teri has created a fabulous recipe that’s great for everyone. The base for this parfait is tofu, but if you’re not a fan of soy, you can use soaked and blended cashews or almonds.
