Notes

1. Choose quality ingredients: When making a fruit and yogurt parfait, fresh and ripe fruits and high-quality Greek yogurt will make a difference in the final flavor and texture.

2. Prepare ahead: You can mix the yogurt and honey ahead of time and keep it in the fridge, but chop the fruits and nuts just before assembling the parfait to prevent them from getting mushy.

3. Use a tall glass or mason jar: By using a tall glass or jar, you can create layers and a beautiful presentation of the parfait.

4. Have fun with the layers: Play around with the order of layers or mix some fruits with the yogurt before adding them to the glass. A colorful and varied combination of layers will make it more appealing and appetizing.

5. Add crunch and texture: Granola, nuts, or seeds will add some crunch and texture to the parfait, making it more satisfying and filling.

6. Use your creativity: Don't be afraid to use different types of fruits, yogurt flavors, or toppings to create your version of a fruit and yogurt parfait. You can even add some spices or herbs to complement the flavor.

7. Balance the sweetness: The honey adds sweetness to the yogurt, but if you prefer a less sweet parfait, you can skip it or reduce its amount. Also, choose sweet or tart fruits depending on your taste preferences.

8. Keep it cool: For a refreshing and chilled parfait, keep the yogurt and fruits in the fridge before assembling and serve it right away or keep it in the fridge until ready to serve.

Storage Tips

This Fruit and Yogurt Parfait Recipe typically lasts for up to 3-5 days in the fridge if stored in an airtight container. To store, simply place the assembled parfaits in a container with a tight-fitting lid and store in the fridge.

To freeze, assemble the parfaits without the granola or nuts and then transfer them to an airtight container or freezer-safe ziplock bags. The parfaits can last up to 1 month in the freezer.

To defrost the parfaits, simply remove them from the freezer and let them thaw in the fridge overnight. Once thawed, sprinkle the granola and nuts on top before serving. Alternatively, you can also defrost the parfaits in the microwave for a few seconds or room temperature for an hour or so.

Make sure to follow proper food safety protocols when storing and handling food.
