01 -

You can see every layer, which makes even a quick breakfast feel intentional and bright.
It's endlessly adaptable, you swap fruits by season and never get bored.
No cooking means no cleanup beyond a spoon and a cutting board.
The crunch of granola against cool yogurt is one of those perfect texture contrasts.

02 -

Assemble parfaits just before eating, the granola loses its crunch fast once it touches yogurt.
Use thick Greek yogurt instead of regular, it holds the layers better and doesn't make everything watery.
If you're prepping ahead, keep the granola separate and add it right before serving.

03 -

Layer in clear jars or glasses so you can see the colors, it makes the whole thing feel more special.
Use a spoon to gently press the granola into the yogurt just slightly, it helps the layers stick together when you dig in.
Freeze leftover banana slices and blend them into the yogurt for a thicker, almost ice-cream-like texture.
