Greek Yogurt: Greek yogurt is a good source of protein and calcium. Choose plain, unsweetened varieties to control sugar intake.

Honey: Honey is a natural sweetener, but it should still be consumed in moderation. Consider using a smaller amount if you are watching your sugar intake.

Pistachios: Pistachios provide healthy fats, fiber, and antioxidants. They also add a satisfying crunch to the parfait.

FAQ

    Yes, you can substitute pistachios with other nuts like almonds, walnuts, or pecans.
  • Can I use a different type of yogurt?

    You can use other types of yogurt, but Greek yogurt provides a thicker and tangier base for the parfait.
  • What if I don't have a grill?

    You can pan-sear the peaches in a skillet over medium heat for a similar effect.
