If you don’t want to add maple syrup, you can also go for honey. Agave is a better option for healthy parfaits. Garnishing with a perfect layer of nuts and then sprinkling berries is so tempting and beautiful.
For your cute parfait look, opt for smaller glasses or mason jars. If you love to have repeated layers of protein and flavors, go for taller glasses. Don’t forget to cover it with a lid until you are ready to serve or else the taste will not be the same.
