Ingredients

This section reviews the best ingredients and substitutions for this recipe. For an exact list of ingredients and quantities, check the recipe card below.

  • Yogurt - I use Greek yogurt and my favorite flavor is honey vanilla. You can use plain vanilla or even berry-flavored yogurt.
  • Granola - Use your favorite granola. When I have time, I love to use my homemade granola. Try to avoid granola with dried fruit. The textures of the dried fruit in this parfait make it difficult to eat.
  • Berries - Use any fresh berries available. I like to use a combination of strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries. Use them all or just a few!
  • Nuts - Add a little extra crunch and protein with some sliced almonds or chopped pecans or walnuts.
  • Honey - Drizzle a bit over the top for a little extra flavor and sweetness. The honey is totally optional.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best type of yogurt to use in a yogurt parfait?

I prefer to use Greek yogurt because it tends to be a bit thicker. Vanilla is a great neutral flavor that pairs well with granola and fruit.

Any type of yogurt or flavor can be used. Select a yogurt you enjoy for a yogurt parfait.

How long will yogurt parfaits last?

Yogurt parfaits should be eaten within 3-4 days. If you want the granola to stay crunchy, store it separately and add just before eating.

Make ahead directions

Yogurt parfaits are perfect for packing into lunch boxes, taking on a picnic or prepping ahead of time. However, in order to prevent the granola from turning soft, it does need to be kept separate until you're ready to eat.

Small canning jars with plastic lids are a great way to assemble the parfaits when you want to eat them later. I like to use You could also use plastic containers or other glass storage containers.
