Healthy Parfait Recipes FAQs
What Type of Yogurt is Best for Parfaits?
Greek yogurt is the best for easy parfaits because it’s thicker, making it better for holding toppings. It’s also high in protein! I like to use vanilla Greek yogurt for a sweeter option.
How do I keep Granola from Getting Soggy?
If you’re making these ahead of time, hold off on adding the granola until right before you enjoy the parfait! This will keep it from getting soggy.
How can I make a Vegan Parfait?
Use vegan Greek yogurt or a thick coconut yogurt and maple syrup instead of honey to easily make these vegan!
