These leftover cranberry sauce parfaits are creamy, lightly tart, and after several days of heavy cooking and big-time eating, it’s refreshing to have a simple, healthy breakfast on hand.

Cranberry Sauce. A few scoops of perfectly tart, yet slightly sweet Cranberry Orange Sauce is my go-to for these easy parfaits.Greek Yogurt. I love how cranberry sauce pairs with plain Greek yogurt because I think it lets the brightness of the cranberries and sweetness of the honey shine. Plus, its texture is totally creamy dreamy.
Honey. A little drizzle of honey counters the tartness of the cranberry sauce and tang of the Greek yogurt.Granola No parfait would be complete without a little crunch.
