Cook’s notes

Chef’s note

Greek yogurt is recommended in this recipe due to its creamy texture. It also has tart and tangy qualities, making it an ideal pairing for fruit and granola. This parfait can be served as a breakfast or healthy dessert option. Not a fan of berries or bananas? Simply substitute the fruit for sliced peaches, pears or apples. Or add your favorite nuts if preferred.

Good to know:

Per the kitchn, Greek yogurt has been strained to remove the liquid whey. This results in double the amount of protein as regular yogurt. They explain, “Although traditionally Greek yogurt is made only with full-fat milk, you’ll find everything from full-fat to nonfat choices available.”
