Some varieties of blackberries have well over a dozen different kinds of antioxidants, many undiscovered by research and science. Some of the antioxidant varieties in blackberries head directly to the brain when entering the blood- stream. This is when the antioxidants of the blackberry can help slow down cell damage, cell decay, and cell destruction of the brain.

Blackberry Parfait

Ingredients:

Jam:

• 2 cups blackberries
• ⅓ cup tightly packed pitted Medjool dates

Banana ice cream:

• 4 frozen bananas
• ½ tsp pure vanilla bean powder
• 3-4 tbsps water (purified or spring) or coconut water

To assemble:

• ½ cup dried mulberries (optional)
• ½ cup fresh blackberries
• 2-3 tbsps raw honey

Directions:

To make the jam, combine the blackberries and dates in a blender. Blend until smooth, for 1 to 2 minutes at medium speed. Remove and set aside.

To make the banana ice cream, combine the frozen bananas and pure vanilla bean powder in a food processor. Process the bananas until you have a smooth, soft-serve consistency, adding water or coconut water by the tablespoon as needed.

Place a layer of banana ice cream in 2 to 3 serving glasses or jars, followed by a few dried mulberries for crunch (if using), and then a layer of blackberry jam. Repeat with remaining ice cream, jam, and mulberries (if using). Top the parfaits with fresh blackberries and a drizzle of raw honey. Serve immediately.

Serves 2-3

Recipe Notes:

• When buying powdered vanilla, read the label and seek out 100% pure vanilla bean powder, with no added fillers or flavors.
