I don't really like shredded coconut, so what should I replace that with?
You can omit the coconut altogether, or add your favorite no-sugar added fruit.
This Recipe is for 3 servings? So if you were just going to make for 1 you would divide the amount by three and then the total serving would be 184 calories? Just making sure I’m reading the nutrition facts right 🙂
Our nutritional data is already listed for a single serving of 1 cup, so if you only want to make enough for one, you are correct that you would divide the recipe by three, and the data would remain the same.
…..And the banana
If I use the Skinny Ms Granola recipe 4 smart points of eight 4 one quarter of a cup do I have to count that as an additional points
What size jar do you use?
Diana, This recipe used 1/2 pint jars.
Can you make this night before?
Great question, Jamie!
You can definitely make these the night before. However I would wait to put the granola on the parfait, it will absorb the moisture overnight and will end up soggy.
It is actually very nice when the granola is ‘soggy’. I always make mine the night before, making it a very fast convenient and healthy breakfast.
Give it a try. It’s so lush
What could you use in place of the banana I don’t like bananas
Trena, Chose one of your favoite fruits, i.e. sliced cantaloupe, peach, pear, …the possibilities are endless! 🙂
is this recipe as follows one serving?
Hi, Cindy. Yes, this is for one serving.
What kind of granola do you use in the parfait recipe??
Hi Melanie! You can use whatever granola you’d like! We have several amazing granola recipes on the site. I’d recommend using our 10 Minute Stovetop Granola. It’s quick, easy, and delicious!
Wow!!…17 comments over a DIY yogurt parfait…really?
What type of utensil should I use to put the stuff in the jar?
Does it have to be a glass jar; or will a plastic container do the trick?
If I substitute coconut with bananas will it be as ap-peel-ing?
Anita, It can be any jar you prefer. If you use plastic, I recommend one that’s BPA free. Yes, coconut is fine, just not as sweet as banana.
I do not particularly like walnuts. Can I substitute almonds? Thank you.
Yes, you can substitute almonds. However keep in mind this could change the nutritional information.
Are you using plain yogurt or can I use any flavor nonfat or low-fat Greek yogurt?
Barbara, Feel free to use Greek Yogurt and/or nonfat.
