How healthy is a parfait?
A parfait is as healthy as you would like to make it! It all depends on what you are adding to that parfait recipe of yours. The main ingredients of a parfait are yogurt and granola. Go for any healthy yogurt option available to you like Greek and choose a granola that’s loaded with fiber and low in fat and sugar. Healthy add ons to your parfait recipe will be fresh berries.
Can Parfaits be made ahead of time?
You can definitely make your strawberry parfait ahead of time! The only downside is the granola will be soggy. Some people like it this way. If you like the granola to be crunchy rather than soggy you can hold off on adding the granola until you are ready to have your parfait. They should last about 3 days with no issues.

Hey there! Do you think you could be a little more specific than “1 scoop” of protein powder? The size of the scoop differs depending on the brand and I think mine might be a little too big for this recipe.
