Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this parfait ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the parfait up to a few hours in advance. For best results, add the granola just before serving to prevent it from becoming soggy.

What kind of granola is best for this parfait?

Any granola will work, but a homemade granola or one with nuts and seeds will add the most texture and flavor. Look for granola with less added sugar if you are watching your intake.

Can I substitute the Greek yogurt?

You can substitute regular yogurt, but Greek yogurt's thickness provides a better texture. Non-dairy yogurts like coconut or almond milk yogurt are also good alternatives.
