TIPS
- Use Thick Yoghurt: Greek yoghurt offers a thick and creamy texture that holds layers well and adds more protein.
- Layer Carefully: Use a clear glass or jar to showcase the beautiful layers for visual appeal.
- Choose Fresh Berries: Raspberries, blueberries and sliced strawberries work well together.
- Keep Crunch Fresh: Add oats or granola just before serving to avoid sogginess.
- Adjust Sweetness: Taste and add more honey if you prefer a sweeter parfait.
VARIATIONS
- Add Seeds: Include chia seeds or flaxseeds for added fibre and omega-3 fatty acids.
- Dairy-Free Option: Use coconut or almond-based yoghurt to make it dairy-free.
- Flavour The Yogurt: Stir in a drop of vanilla extract or cinnamon for extra depth.
- More Fruit Variety: Add a tropical touch with banana slices, mango or kiwi.
- Nut Topping: Sprinkle chopped almonds or walnuts for additional protein and healthy fats.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Fridge Storage: Store assembled parfaits in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Layer only the yoghurt and berries for longer storage, and add the granola just before serving.
