Helpful Tips:
- For an added crunch, try using toasted nuts or seeds in place of some granola.
- Experiment with different types of yogurt, such as flavored or dairy-free options, to cater to your preferences.
- Make it a fun activity by setting up a parfait-making station where kids or guests can assemble their own parfaits with their favorite ingredients.
Storage Instructions: For best results, assemble the parfaits just before serving. If preparing in advance, keep the components separate and assemble when ready to eat. Layering too early can result in soggy granola.
Ingredient Substitutions: Use any variety of fruits available seasonally. If Greek yogurt isn’t available, any creamy yogurt can be substituted.
Suggested Pairings: These yogurt parfaits pair wonderfully with a refreshing glass of orange juice or a hot cup of herbal tea. For an extra indulgent brunch, serve alongside homemade pancakes or waffles.
