What to do with leftover cranberry sauce: make cranberry sauce and yogurt parfaits!

Since this easy cranberry yogurt recipe keeps in the fridge for five days, you can totally meal prep these parfaits for breakfast! I think breakfast can be the hardest meal of the day because most people are rushing off to work. So it’s nice to have something like these parfaits prepped and ready to eat.

This recipe is also very kid-friendly! These parfaits are loaded with probiotic yogurt, making them a gut-healthy snack for little ones. If your child doesn’t enjoy cranberries, simply switch out the cranberry for their favorite fruit or jam! The yogurt and granola pair well with just about any fruit.

Leftover Cranberry Sauce and Yogurt Parfaits

Who else thinks that Thanksgiving leftovers are the best thing ever? Thanksgiving is like a huge meal prep session, and the key is keeping things interesting as you chow on leftovers for five days! I feel like the thanksgiving cranberry sauce is what others struggle to find a use for. Not in our house though, because cranberry sauce is my favorite Thanksgiving side!

Well, here is how you can use that cranberry sauce for a healthy and delicious breakfast, snack, or dessert parfait. Simply layer yogurt, granola, and cranberry sauce in a jar… viola! You’ve got leftover cranberry sauce fruit and yogurt parfait.

Cranberry Yogurt and Granola Parfaits

These parfaits are healthy and you can make them vegan and gluten-free depending on the ingredients you choose. You can use dairy yogurt or vegan yogurt, any granola that you love, and any fruit. I highly recommend using the leftover cranberry sauce though! It’s so yummy. Here’s everything you need for these parfaits:

  • Yogurt or Vegan Yogurt
  • Granola
  • Cranberry Sauce

This is my spring gut health pasta salad, but it’s really great for any season, and you can find the ingredients year-round at most grocery stores. It’s my go-to pasta comfort meal, especially when I need something light that nourishes my gut microbiome. I always make my probiotic parmesan vinaigrette dressing to go with it, and I swear the dressing helps with digesting all the fresh veggies.

When roasting ingredients for fermentation, it’s important to roast without any oil bc oily stuff can do weird, undesirable things in wild ferments. It also doesn’t take a ton of roasted ingredients to add great flavor. You can add more or less jalapeño depending on how spicy you want it.
