FAQ
-
Can I use frozen berries?
Yes, you can use frozen berries. Just let them thaw slightly before adding them to the parfait. -
Can I use different types of yogurt?
Yes, you can use different types of yogurt, but Greek yogurt is recommended for its high protein content and thick texture. Choose a low-fat or non-fat option to keep the calorie count down. -
Can I make this ahead of time?
It's best to assemble the parfait just before serving to prevent the granola from becoming soggy. However, you can prepare the ingredients ahead of time and store them separately.
