Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use flavored Greek yogurt instead of plain?
Yes, flavored Greek yogurt can be used to add sweetness and flavor, but be mindful of added sugars which will affect the nutrition.

If you can't find sugar-free pudding mix, you can use a low-sugar vanilla or chocolate pudding mix as a substitute, adjusting the amount to taste.
Can I prepare these parfaits ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the parfaits ahead and store them in the fridge for up to 3 days, but add any crunchy toppings just before serving.
How do I prevent mix-ins like granola from getting soggy?
Add crunchy mix-ins like granola or cereal right before serving rather than layering them in during assembly to maintain their texture.
