Reheating: No reheating necessary! Just serve cold and enjoy!

FAQs

Can I make this parfait ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the yogurt and fruit layers ahead of time, but it’s best to keep the granola separate to prevent it from getting soggy. Assemble everything and add the granola right before serving.

Can I use flavored yogurt?

Absolutely! Feel free to use flavored Greek yogurt, like vanilla or strawberry, for extra sweetness. Just adjust the honey or maple syrup based on the sweetness of your yogurt.

Can I add protein to the parfait?

Yes! You can add a scoop of protein powder to the Greek yogurt or top the parfait with extra nuts or seeds to boost the protein content.

What other toppings can I add?

Besides granola, you can add coconut flakes, a drizzle of peanut butter, or even a few dark chocolate shavings for a fun twist.

How long will the parfait last in the fridge?

The parfait is best eaten within 24 hours. If you make it ahead of time, store it in the fridge with the granola separated.
