Are Parfait Healthy

Parfaits can be a healthy option, but their nutritional value largely depends on the ingredients used.

For a nutritious parfait, using plain Greek yogurt – like this watermelon parfait uses – can provide a good source of protein and probiotics, beneficial for gut health.

Fresh fruits like berries, bananas and mangoes add essential vitamins, minerals and fiber to the mix. Including nuts and seeds can offer healthy fats, protein, and additional fiber.

To keep it healthy, opt for low-sugar granola to add a satisfying crunch and more fiber.

However, parfaits can become less healthy when made with sweetened yogurt, which can increase calorie and sugar intake.

Can Parfait Be Frozen

Yes, parfaits can be frozen, but there are some considerations to keep in mind to maintain their quality.

When freezing a parfait, the texture of certain ingredients may change.

Yogurt can become grainy or slightly icy when frozen and then thawed.

Fruits, especially fresh ones, can become mushy after freezing and thawing.

Some fruits might release extra moisture when thawed, and granola may lose its crunch, so you might want to add a fresh layer of granola just before serving.
