Notes

  • Layer parfait just before serving to keep granola crunchy.
  • Use any high-fiber cereal you like instead of granola.
  • Try topping with rinsed, chopped fresh mint leaves for extra flavor and color.
  • To save money, use fresh fruits that are in season. When seasonal fruits are hard to find, use thawed frozen fruit.
  • Use leftover fruit in fruit smoothies.
  • Make your own homemade granola.
