TIPS
Here are some helpful tips for Vegan Yoghurt Parfait:
- Use Fresh Or Frozen Berries: Both work well, but thaw frozen berries before use.
- Granola Tip: Choose a low-sugar or homemade granola for a healthier option.
- Sweetness Control: Add a drizzle of maple syrup or agave nectar if you prefer a sweeter parfait.
