FAQs
1. Can one use another type of yogurt?
• Full fat means it has not been skimmed of course and unsweetened means it does not have any added sugar. Greek yogurt is used in the preferable way since it has more proteins and also has a more compact structure. If you wish to avoid the usage of dairy products, other products such as coconut yogurt can also be taken, but bear in mind the carb level.
2. Final question is What sweeteners should be used?
• Examples of low carb sweeteners include Stevia, Erythritol, monk fruit, or allulose and when added to Greek yogurt do not have any considerable contribution to the carbs quantity.
3. Can I make this parfait ahead of time?
• Yes you can prepare the other components that are in a parfait ahead of time but arranging the parfait just before serving is best since the nuts will become soft and the berries will become soggy.
4. Is it possible to use frozen berries?
• Yes you can, but don’t forget to begin by thawing them first. Sophisticated yogurt bases could become watery when mixed with frozen berries that probably will release additional moisture upon defrosting.
5. Do I need to put more toppings?
• Of course, with the possibility to add keto friendly garnishes on top such as chia seeds, flax seeds or sugar free maple syrup. Simply make sure that occasionally you may include other carbs that they contain.
