Can I use a different kind of yogurt?

Absolutely! You can substitute the plain yogurt for Greek yogurt , or even a plant-based yogurt if you prefer. You can also choose yogurt in a variety of flavors (I’m a little partial to raspberry). The key is to make sure the yogurt you choose is tasty and healthy.

How long does this yogurt parfait last?

When stored correctly, this parfait can last in the fridge for 3-4 days. This makes it ideal for preparing ahead of time and packing for school lunches.

Can I use frozen fruits instead of fresh ones?

Yes, you can! Frozen fruits work well when fresh ones aren’t available. This tutorial on freezing strawberries is a great start.

How can I add more protein to this yogurt parfait?

For an extra protein boost, you could consider adding a scoop of collagen to the yogurt or mixing in some chia seeds or flax seeds. A sprinkling of almonds or cashews can also enhance the protein content!

Notes

Make a breakfast parfait to-go: Layer your ingredients in a mason jar. Top with a lid to carry it on the go. Don’t limit this option to breakfast though, it works perfectly for school lunches!
Use different kinds of granola: This cinnamon granola is a perfect starting point. You can create so many different types of granola by using a variety of nuts, seeds, and dried fruit.
Use up leftover oatmeal: If you don’t have granola on hand, use up some leftover oatmeal as your grain layer.
