About Strawberry yogurt parfait

Strawberry yogurt parfait is a layered dessert or snack featuring alternating layers of yogurt, fresh strawberries, and granola, originating from Western cuisine as a popular health-focused treat. It combines the creaminess of yogurt, the sweetness of strawberries, and the crunch of granola, offering a balanced mix of macronutrients and micronutrients. Typically made with plain or Greek yogurt, it is rich in protein while strawberries provide vitamin C and antioxidants. Granola adds dietary fiber and essential minerals like iron and magnesium, making the parfait both nutritious and satisfying. A standard serving is low in fat, if prepared with non-fat or low-fat yogurt, and is a great source of calcium, aiding muscle and bone health. Its versatility allows for tailoring to individual preferences, including the addition of nuts, seeds, or other fruits for enhanced nutritional benefits.
