Tips

• Use a thick Greek yogurt to keep the parfait from becoming watery.
• Frozen fruit helps keep the parfait cold and adds natural juice as it thaws.
• For extra texture, add nuts or seeds right before serving.
• Shake or stir before eating to distribute the fruit and oats evenly.

Variations and Substitutions

• Yogurt alternatives: Use dairy-free Greek-style yogurt for a vegan option.
• Milk substitutes: Almond milk, oat milk, soy milk, or coconut milk all work well.
• Fruit swaps: Fresh berries, chopped apples, mango, or peaches can replace frozen fruit.
• Flavor boosts: Add vanilla extract, cinnamon, or a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.

FAQs

Can I prepare these parfaits several days ahead?
Yes. They keep well for 3–4 days in the refrigerator.

Do the oats stay chewy?
The oats soften overnight, giving a chilled, creamy texture similar to overnight oats.

Can I use fresh fruit instead of frozen?
Absolutely. Fresh fruit works well, but frozen helps with texture and moisture.
