Notes
- Use any type of yogurt you prefer – Greek yogurt for a thicker consistency and higher protein, regular yogurt for a lighter option, or non-dairy yogurt for vegan or lactose-free diets.
- Fresh or frozen berries work well. If using frozen, they may release some liquid as they thaw, so you may want to add them closer to serving time.
- Get creative with your granola or toppings! Nuts, seeds, shredded coconut, and other fruits can be added for extra flavor and nutrition.
- Layering in a clear glass or jar makes the parfait visually appealing.
- You can adjust the proportions of ingredients to your liking.
- These parfaits are great for meal prepping – assemble them in jars and store in the refrigerator for a quick and healthy breakfast or snack throughout the week.
