6. Sprinkle Granola: Follow with a layer of granola for that perfect crunch.
7. Repeat Layers: Continue adding layers of yogurt, fruits, and granola until you reach the top of the glass. Aim for at least three to five layers for an impressive parfait.
8. Top It Off: Finish with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup if desired, and sprinkle some nuts for an added crunch.
9. Garnish: Add a few mint leaves on top for a final touch of freshness.
