Variations

• Swap Greek yogurt for plant-based yogurt if you prefer a dairy-free version.

storage/reheating

Store any leftover parfaits in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. However, the granola will lose its crunch over time, so it’s best to assemble the parfait just before serving.

FAQs

Can I use frozen berries for this recipe?

Yes, you can use frozen berries. Just allow them to thaw before adding them to the parfait.

Can I make this ahead of time?

You can prepare the yogurt and berry layers ahead of time, but it’s best to add the granola right before serving to keep it crispy.

Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?

Yes, but Greek yogurt offers a thicker, creamier texture that works well in parfaits.

Can I add more toppings?

Feel free to add extras like coconut flakes, seeds, or a drizzle of nut butter for added flavor.

Maple syrup, agave nectar, or any sweetener of your choice can replace honey.
