Ingredients for Strawberry Parfaits
Yogurt: Use whichever type of yogurt you prefer. I always prefer almond milk yogurt, but I had a coconut one the other day and it was better than I remembered them being! So, up to you.
Granola: I love making THIS GRANOLA, it’s easy to make and only takes a few ingredients & no oils. Or, use store bought or your favorite granola recipe.
Strawberries: This is a strawberry parfait so strawberries are needed. Fresh strawberries work best, you’ll need to slice or dice them and frozen, even if thawed, would not work as well.
How to Make a Vegan Strawberry Parfait
*Note that these instructions can be printed below
Step one: Assemble the parfait starting with 1-2 tablespoons of granola on the bottom.
Step two: Then add about 2 tablespoons of yogurt.
Step three: Next, add 1-2 tablespoons of diced strawberries.
Step four: Add another 2 tablespoons granola, yogurt, an diced strawberries on top.
Step five: Then add about 1 tablespoon more yogurt on top, sprinkle a little more granola, add 1 large berry and 2 blueberries, a teaspoon of coconut shreds and enjoy!
Step six: Repeat for the second parfait.
How to Serve Parfaits
Serve ASAP!
If left for too long before enjoying then the granola will start to soak up any liquid (strawberry juice or yogurt) that’s near it and become soggy.
Luckily, if it only takes a couple of minutes to assemble if you have the granola already made, or bought it. So it shouldn’t be a big deal to make it when you want it instead of making and saving in the fridge.
You can save it in the fridge if you want, but again, granola may become soggy.
FAQs for Vegan Parfaits
- Do I have to use almond milk yogurt, or can I use a different kind?
- You can use any brand or type of yogurt you like. It is recommended to not use a flavored yogurt, unless it’s vanilla, simply because the fruity flavor in the parfait should come from the fruit. If you need to buy a flavored yogurt choose vanilla or the same flavor as the parfait you are making.
- What size yogurt do I need for this recipe?
- You can buy a tub of yogurt, 1 cup equals 8 ounces. Or, you can buy the individual sized yogurts. 1 individual sized yogurt will be enough for 1 parfait, so you will need to buy as many individual sized yogurts as the number of parfaits you plan on making.
- Can I double or triple this recipe?
- Of course! This recipe is very easy to double, triple, or multiply to fit your needs. Just remember you need about 2 tablespoons per layer, so plan accordingly.
- Won’t I have leftover granola?
- Yes, you will have leftover granola. This is great news if you plan on making more than just the two parfaits. It also goes great with fruit and non-dairy milk, like cereal, and for all of your other granola needs!
- Are parfaits healthy?
- This really depends on the ingredients you use to make it. They can be unhealthy, fattening, and more dessert-like, they can be healthy, or they can be somewhere in between. If you’re looking to make your parfait healthy, look for unsweetened plain dairy free yogurt, use the granola recipe provided, and have fruit be the only other ingredient.

Notes
This recipe is best when enjoyed right after assembling, and cannot be saved well after assembling. The granola would become mushy if you try saving it after assembling.
