Helpful Tips
For an even simpler version, you can use pre-cut mangoes and sweetened coconut flakes. If Greek yogurt is too thick for your liking, substitute with regular yogurt for a lighter texture. Feel free to experiment with other fruits like pineapple or berries to add variety to your parfaits.
Storage Instructions
The parfaits are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. The longer they sit, the more the yogurt may release moisture, slightly changing the texture.
