# Expert Tips:
01 -
- You can mix and match whatever fruits you have left in the fridge and it still comes out looking like a treat.
- This parfait has converted even my pickiest breakfast guests—once they try it, they ask for it again.
02 -
- Piling on extra granola seemed genius until I realized it turns soggy if the parfait sits too long—so always layer last if not serving right away.
- Muddling the fruit with a fork before layering released juice that blended perfectly with the tangy yogurt.
03 -
- Let the yogurt come just to room temperature before serving—it brings all the flavors together in each bite.
- A little pinch of salt added to the honey balances sweetness and makes the flavors pop.
