Notes
- For variation, substitute mixed berries with your favorite fruits like mango, kiwi, or peaches.
- Use Greek yogurt for a thicker, creamier texture and higher protein content.
- Granola can be swapped with nuts or seeds depending on dietary preference.
- To keep granola crunchy, add it just before serving if preparing the parfait ahead of time.
- Adjust honey quantity to taste or substitute with maple syrup for a vegan option.
