FAQs

Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?

While Greek yogurt provides a thicker texture and higher protein content, you can use regular yogurt if preferred. Keep in mind that the consistency may be slightly different.

How long can I store a yogurt parfait in the refrigerator?

It’s best to consume the parfait shortly after assembling to prevent the granola from becoming soggy. However, you can prepare the components ahead of time and assemble the parfait just before serving for optimal freshness.
