Notes
Yogurt: Use plain, unsweetened Greek yogurt for its high-protein content. I prefer to use Fage, Chobani, or Trader Joe's brands. For vegan parfaits, stick to your favorite dairy-free yogurt, which is naturally lower in protein.
Granola: Check the nutrition labels of the granola brands and look for a lower-carb (less added sugar), high-fiber, and protein-rich granola (includes nuts and seeds). The nutritional values of this recipe are based on this granola brand.
Sweetener: To lightly sweeten your parfait, stir in ½-1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey into the yogurt. Use monk fruit sweetener for a sugar-free alternative. This step is optional.
Berries: I use a mix of chopped strawberries and blueberries for this parfait. You can use other fruits you like, for example, apples, bananas, mango, pineapple, blackberries, and more. Just cut the fruit into bite-size pieces and add as per instructions.
Make it Low-Carb: Use any mix of berries (fresh or frozen) and swap out the granola for a grain-free, low-sugar, or sugar-free granola, or your favorite mix of nuts and seeds.
