Q&A Section

Q1: Can I use flavored yogurt instead of plain?
Yes! Vanilla, honey, or fruit-flavored yogurt adds extra sweetness and flavor. However, plain yogurt keeps it healthier with less sugar.

Q2: What other fruits can I add?
You can add strawberries, bananas, mangoes, grapes, or even pomegranate seeds. Seasonal fruits work best for freshness.

Q3: How can I make it vegan-friendly?
Use plant-based yogurt (such as almond, soy, or coconut yogurt) and a vegan granola without honey.

Q4: How long can I store this parfait?
It’s best served fresh because granola becomes soggy if kept too long. You can store yogurt and fruits separately in the fridge for up to 24 hours and add granola right before serving.

Q5: Is it healthy for weight loss?
Yes, if made with unsweetened yogurt and moderate granola. It’s high in protein, fiber, and vitamins, making it filling yet low in unhealthy fats.

Q6: Can kids enjoy this recipe?
Absolutely! Kids love the colorful presentation, and it’s a fun way to encourage them to eat more fruits.
