# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • Zero cooking required means you can sleep in a little longer on Mother's Day morning.
  • Everyone gets exactly what they want without any "but I don't like that" moments at the table.
  • It looks like you spent hours preparing when you really just arranged beautiful things on a table.
02 -
  • Don't slice your banana until just before serving, or it will brown and darken the whole aesthetic—same with avocado if you decide to add that for creaminess.
  • If you make this ahead of time, keep the granola separate until people are actually serving themselves, or it turns to mush in the yogurt within minutes.
03 -
  • Chill all your serving bowls and glasses in the freezer for 15 minutes before you start—it keeps everything colder longer and makes the whole presentation feel more polished.
  • If you're serving a crowd, make a small test parfait first to figure out proportions; it's way easier to adjust your setup before eight people show up hungry.
