PREPARATION

TIPS

Here are some helpful tips for Greek Yoghurt Parfait With Fruit And Granola:

• Use Thick Yoghurt: Optional for full-fat Greek yoghurt for a creamier and more satisfying texture that holds up well in layers.
• Layer With Intention: For a beautiful presentation, alternate thin layers of yoghurt, granola and fruit in a tall glass.
• Keep Granola Crunchy: If prepping ahead, store the granola separately and add just before serving to maintain its crunch.
• Sweetness Control: Taste your fruit before adding honey. Ripe berries or bananas may be sweet enough on their own.
• Presentation Tip: Use a clear glass jar for a visually appealing parfait, perfect for brunch or entertaining.

VARIATIONS

• Dairy-Free Version: Substitute Greek yoghurt with a thick plant-based yoghurt made from coconut, almond or oat.
• Extra Protein Boost: Add a tablespoon of chia seeds or a scoop of protein powder to the yoghurt before layering.
• Fruit Swaps: Try chopped pineapple, apple, grapes or pomegranate seeds, depending on the season and your preferences.
• Nutty Additions: Mix chopped walnuts, almonds or sunflower seeds into your granola for added crunch and healthy fats.
• Spice It Up: Stir in a pinch of cinnamon or a drop of vanilla extract into the yoghurt for an aromatic twist.
• Layered Dessert Parfait: Add a layer of dark chocolate chips or shaved coconut for a more indulgent option.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

• Refrigeration: Store assembled parfaits in airtight containers or jars in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. For best results, add granola just before serving.
• Batch Preparation: Prepare multiple yoghurt and fruit layers in jars for grab-and-go breakfasts. Keep the granola portioned separately until ready to eat.
• Serving Suggestions: Serve with a side of herbal tea or a boiled egg for a more filling morning meal.
• Avoid Freezing: Do not freeze parfaits as the texture of yoghurt and fruit deteriorates, and granola becomes soggy.
• On-The-Go Tip: Use wide-mouth jars with screw-top lids and keep a small spoon inside for easy portability and mess-free eating.
