💡 Chef’s Tips:

 

• Make It Vegan: Use plant-based yogurt and maple syrup instead of honey.

• Berry Swap: Try blackberries, mango, kiwi, or banana for seasonal variations.

• Crunch Factor: Toast your granola or nuts with a pinch of cinnamon for deeper flavor.

• Meal Prep: Assemble in mason jars the night before (leave the granola on top to keep it crunchy).

• Dessert Twist: Add a few dark chocolate shavings or a drizzle of almond butter.

 

Servings 2 (or 1 large parfait for a filling breakfast)
