Recipe Tips
- Making Ahead – If I am making these in advance, I leave the granola off. It will get soggy so it is easy to just add the granola right before eating. However, if I am eating the parfait right away, it’s fine to go ahead and put the granola layers.
- Mason Jars – We like to make these Yogurt Parfaits in Mason Jars. It shows the pretty layers and easy to grab and go when I head out the door. It also makes it perfect to meal prep with.
