Notes

Yogurt: Use plain, unsweetened Greek yogurt that has 15-20 grams of protein per serving. For vegan parfaits, you can use your favorite dairy-free yogurt, but know that it will be 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).
Sweetener: To lightly sweeten your parfait, stir in ½ to 1 teaspoon of 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, like apple, banana, mango, pineapple, blackberries, and more. Cut the fruit into bite-sized pieces and add.
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.
