FAQs
What kind of yogurt works best for this parfait?
I prefer a thick yogurt such as Greek yogurt because it layers well and has a creamy texture.
Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?
Yes, but regular yogurt is thinner, so the layers may blend more. It still tastes great.
Can I make this parfait ahead of time?
Yes, I often assemble the yogurt and fruit ahead and add the granola just before serving.
How do I keep the granola crunchy?
I store the granola separately and sprinkle it on top only when I’m ready to eat.
Is this parfait good for meal prep?
Yes, it stores well for several days, making it perfect for grab-and-go breakfasts.
