I encourage you to make your own probiotic yogurt for this treat to take it to the next level.  You can even biohack your gut by customizing this yogurt and parfait for yourself.  The polyphenols in the pomegranate also feed the SCFA producing bacteria as they convert them into elagic acid, so beneficial for our cardiovascular systems.
