Strawberry grape granola parfait FAQ:

How long can I store the parfait in the refrigerator?

You can store the parfait in the refrigerator for up to 1 hour. If you prepare it in advance, the granola may lose its crunch, so it's best to assemble the parfait just before serving.

Can I substitute Greek yogurt with another type of yogurt?

Yes, you can substitute Greek yogurt with regular yogurt or a dairy-free alternative, such as almond or coconut yogurt, to accommodate dietary preferences.

What type of granola works best for this parfait?

Any granola of your choice works well, but selecting a variety that is low in added sugars will keep the parfait healthier. Look for granolas with nuts or seeds for added nutrition.

How can I make this parfait vegan?

To make the parfait vegan, use a plant-based yogurt, such as coconut or almond yogurt, and replace honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.

What serving size should I use for each parfait layer?

For each parfait, use about 2 oz (57g) of Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup (60g) of granola, and 1/2 cup (82.5g) of sliced strawberries with 1/2 cup (75g) of halved grapes to ensure balanced layers.

Cooking Tips:
