Notes
- These yogurt parfaits are best served the first day when the granola is crunchy. After the second day the granola will absorb moisture and will get soft. You can make the yogurt cream 1-2 days in advance and loosen it up with a spoon before filling the glasses.
- Substitute the cinnamon and the lime zest with 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract for a different flavor profile.
- What fruit to use: raspberries, cherries, chopped mango, pineapple, grapes, peaches, blueberries, or whatever else you like!
