How to Make a Healthy & Wholesome Almond Butter Parfait from Ezra Cohen Montreal

July 26, 2019 by Ezra Cohen No Comments

Ezra Cohen Montreal Almond Butter Parfait

An almond butter parfait might just be the perfect way to start your morning. There’s so much to love about it: creamy yogurt, fresh fruit, irresistible almond butter. Plus, it’s totally customizable depending on your taste and how much time you have!

There’s a lot of things that we love to do with the All-Natural Almond Butter from Ezra Cohen Montreal, but this is definitely at the top of the list. Below, we’ll go over everything that you need to build a showstopping parfait that’s full of almond butter goodness.

Ezra Cohen Montreal Almond Butter Parfait Recipe

Recipe

Step One: Choose Your Base

The sky is the limit when it comes to what yogurt you use in your parfait. We like simple, whole milk Greek yogurt, but non-Greek yogurt, low-fat yogurt, or flavored yogurt all work just as well. To keep your parfait extra healthy, be sure to pick a yogurt that is low in added sugar.

Step Two: Go Nutty

Take a cup of your yogurt choice and stir in 3 tablespoons of creamy almond butter. Then add 1 teaspoon of honey or maple syrup and a dash of cinnamon. Stir until smooth.

Step Three: Freshen Up With Fruit

Fruit is an important component of any good breakfast parfait. And since so many fruits go well with almond butter, you should have no trouble picking out the right ones. Our favorites? Bananas, strawberries, blueberries, and peaches, but grapes, apples, pineapple, and orange will all work well too! If you just can’t choose, mix it up by opting for multiple kinds of fruit.

Step Four: Pick a Crunch Factor

A good parfait is all about texture. Chopped almonds are a natural choice for your almond butter parfait, but shredded coconut, chia seeds, or dry cereal also make great crunchy additions.

Step Five: Build Your Parfait

Sure you can just stir all of your separate parfait components together, but for a true parfait, you’re going to need layers. Start with a layer of your yogurt and almond butter mixture, then top with a thin layer of your crunch element followed by fruit. Repeat these layers until you run out of ingredients, ideally ending with a layer of yogurt topped with crunch. If you really want to up the ante, melt 1 tablespoon of almond butter and drizzle it on top.

Now that you know what’s for breakfast, what about the rest of the day? Check out all of the recipes on our blog for more great ideas from Ezra Cohen, McGill graduate and founder of Ezra Cohen Montreal!

3 Pistachio Butter Uses You Haven’t Thought Of, From Ezra Cohen Montreal

July 11, 2019 by Ezra Cohen No Comments

Ezra Cohen Montreal Pistachio Butter Uses

Looking for some inventive pistachio butter uses? We’ve got you covered!

We’re big fans of pistachio butter at Ezra Cohen Montreal. Maybe it’s the creamy texture or the subtle saltiness or the versatility… or maybe it’s just the fact that you get all of that amazing pistachio flavor without having to unshell a single nut.

There’s no denying the deliciousness of pistachio nut butter, nor can you overlook the fact that it boasts a ton of good-for-you health benefits. These include:

  • High nutrient content
  • High protein content
  • Antioxidants
  • Potassium (as much as one small banana in every serving!)
  • Fiber

Pistachio butter is also naturally low in cholesterol and supports both the health of your heart and your digestive system. It makes sense then that you’d want to add it into your diet however you can.

If you could use more pistachio butter in your life, try out these three innovative ways to use it, courtesy of Ezra Cohen, McGill graduate and founder of Ezra Cohen Montreal.

Ezra Cohen Montreal Pistachio Chocolate Fudge

3 Uses:

  1. Pistachio Dressing

Whip up a simple pistachio dressing by combining ½ cup of high-quality extra virgin olive oil, ¼ cup of pistachio butter, and a tablespoon of honey, plus salt and pepper as needed (you can also bulk it up a bit further with a squeeze of lemon, some minced shallot, or a ½ tablespoon or red wine vinegar). Toss with fresh greens topped with chopped scallions, cherry tomatoes, and feta cheese, or drizzle onto your favorite veggies.

  1. Pistachio Chocolate Fudge

For an effortlessly tasty (and effortlessly easy) treat, combine 2 cups of powdered sugar with 1/3 cup cocoa powder, 1/8 teaspoon salt, 1/8 cup milk (dairy or plant-based will work), 1 tsp vanilla, and ¼ cup pistachio butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave until smooth, stirring often — about 1 and a half minutes on high. Spread into an 8×8 pan, top with mini chocolate chips or shredded sweetened coconut (or both!), and chill for at least one hour.

  1. Pistachio Butter Granola

Take breakfast to the next level. Combine 2 cup quick-cooking oats with 2 tablespoons shelled and chopped pistachios, ¼ tablespoon cinnamon and 1/8 teaspoon salt; set aside. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 3 tablespoon pistachio butter, 2 tablespoons of honey, and a dash of vanilla; microwave until smooth. Pour melted mixture over dry mixture and stir to combine. Spread out onto the baking sheet and bake in the oven at 325 degrees for about 15 minutes (check for doneness — if the granola is still too wet, bake it longer).

Happy eating! Check out the Ezra Cohen Montreal blog for more nut and nut butter recipes.
