Storage & Serving Tips
How to Store
Store yogurt parfaits covered in the fridge for up to 24 hours. For the freshest texture, add granola right before serving.
Can You Make Them Ahead?
Yes. Layer the yogurt and berries ahead of time, then keep granola, coconut, mint, and crunchy toppings separate until serving.
Best Party Tip
Make mini parfait cups for easy serving. Arrange them on a tray with small spoons, extra berries, and a few star-shaped fruit pieces for a festive look.
What to Serve With Them
Serve with pancakes, waffles, brunch boards, grilled food, fruit salad, lemonade, iced tea, BBQ sides, angel food cake, or a Fourth of July dessert table.
