# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Ready in 10 minutes — no cooking required, just layer and serve.
  • Endlessly customizable — swap berries, change up the yogurt, or adjust the sweetness to suit your taste.
  • Naturally vegetarian — and easily made vegan or gluten-free with simple swaps.
  • Visually stunning — the jewel-red strawberries and vivid green pistachios make these parfaits as gorgeous as they are delicious.
  • Balanced and satisfying — protein-rich Greek yogurt, healthy fats from pistachios, and natural sugars from fresh fruit make this a genuinely wholesome start to the day.
02 -
  • Use clear glasses — tall, clear glasses or mason jars show off the beautiful layers and make the parfait a visual centerpiece.
  • Add granola last — for maximum crunch, add the granola layer just before serving so it does not become soggy.
  • Macerate ahead — toss the strawberries with lemon juice and honey up to an hour in advance and refrigerate; the syrup that develops only gets better with time.
  • Chill the yogurt mixture — preparing and chilling the sweetened yogurt the night before makes morning assembly even faster.
  • Allergen awareness — this recipe contains dairy (if using regular yogurt), tree nuts (pistachios), and gluten (if granola is not certified gluten-free). Use plant-based yogurt and certified gluten-free granola as needed, and always check product labels.
