- 1/2 teaspoon melted coconut oil

- 1/4 cup sliced blanched almonds

Chef Tips:
- Experiment with your favorite combination of nuts and seeds in the granola.
- If you cannot find pomegranate seeds, use unsweetened dried cranberries or fresh berries as a topping.
- You can prep the parfaits and ingredients ahead of time to make serving a breeze! The mango chia compote will stay fresh in the fridge for up to two days, and the granola will keep crisp in an airtight container for up to five days. For the best texture, layer the parfaits right before serving.
