Notes
- Optional add-ins: You can add chia seeds, sliced almonds, chopped pecans, shredded coconut, chopped walnuts, ground flaxseed, cinnamon, banana slices, cereal like Cheerios, etc. The chia seeds can be added to the parfait ahead of time, but the rest of these need to be added right before eating for best texture.
- Frozen berries will work for this, but I don't personally love the texture after they have thawed. Plus, it adds a lot of liquid to the make ahead parfaits. But, my kids have eaten them this way many times. So, it's up to you!
- This recipe is very customizable. Don't get too caught up on measurements.
- Dice up large pieces of fruit to help it fit better into the mason jar.
