Pro Tips

• 🥥 Separate toppings – Use a small fruit cup (like Dole snack cups) inside the jar to keep toppings crunchy until you’re ready to eat.

• 🍦 Customize flavors – Swap in chocolate or peanut butter shake mix for a new twist.

• 🥄 Use a Supoon or mini spatula-spoon – so you don’t miss a single bite.

• ❄️ Meal prep friendly – Make several jars at once and refrigerate for 3–4 days.

Mason jars and a Supoon make parfait prep and scooping a breeze.

Reuse fruit cups as topping dividers in your mason jar parfaits.

Health Benefits of Greek Yogurt

Greek yogurt is one of the healthiest bases you can use for parfaits. It’s loaded with protein, probiotics, and calcium:

• Supports gut health thanks to live probiotics.

• Promotes fullness & weight management by reducing appetite.

• Improves bone health with calcium and vitamin D.

  
  

Adding yogurt to your daily routine can improve digestion, boost muscle recovery, and support overall health.
