TIPS
- Berries: Use fresh, ripe berries for the best flavour and natural sweetness. If berries are out of season, frozen ones work well—just let them thaw first.
- Granola: Choose high-quality granola without added sugars to keep it healthy and nutritious. You can also make homemade granola.
- Yoghurt: Chill the yoghurt before assembling for a refreshing and cool parfait.
- Sweetness: Drizzle with honey or maple syrup for added sweetness if using plain Greek yoghurt.
- Crunch: For extra crunch, add chopped nuts or toasted coconut flakes.
VARIATIONS
- Protein Boost: Add a scoop of protein powder to the yoghurt for a more filling meal.
- Vegan Option: Substitute Greek yoghurt with coconut or almond-based yoghurt.
- Nut-Free Alternative: Replace granola with oat flakes or chia seeds for a nut-free version.
- Superfood Mix: Add a sprinkle of flaxseeds or hemp seeds for extra nutrition.
- Chocolate Twist: Mix in a few dark chocolate shavings for a dessert-style parfait.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Refrigeration: Store in an airtight container for up to 24 hours for freshness. However, granola may soften over time.
- Meal Prep Tip: Store yoghurt and granola separately and assemble just before eating to maintain crunchiness.
- Freezing: Not recommended, as yoghurt may become watery, and granola will lose its crunch.
