Instructions

Wash and thoroughly dry the fruit. If the fruit is wet at all, it affects the taste of the parfait. Remove stems from any berries and thinly slice the strawberries. Toss all fruit together.
Layer 1/3 cup vanilla yogurt into the bottom of 4 cups. Alternate layers of fruit, granola, and yogurt. Repeat layers until glasses are filled to the top.
Enjoy right after making to avoid soggy granola. Parfaits don’t sit or store well (see note 1).

Notes

Note 1: You can easily prep ingredients a day ahead (washing and cutting berries) and making the granola, but assemble the parfaits as close to serving as possible. Otherwise, the granola might get soggy and fruit becomes mushy. Don’t freeze this recipe. It doesn’t thaw well and layers become soggy. That said, you can use frozen berries in this parfait.
