This parfait is naturally sweetened with pure maple syrup. You can easily substitute maple syrup for agave nectar, honey, or any sugar-free substitute. If you don’t have a real sweet tooth, you can leave totally leave the sweeter out.
We prefer full-fat Greek yogurt. However, feel free to use what you already have on hand.
