# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together in minutes, even when youre half awake and rushing.
  • The crunch of granola against creamy yogurt is ridiculously satisfying.
  • You can swap the fruit based on whats ripe or on sale, so it never gets boring.
  • It looks impressive enough to serve company but requires zero cooking skill.
02 -
  • Assemble these just before eating or the granola turns to mush, I learned this the hard way after prepping them the night before.
  • If your yogurt is too thick, stir in a teaspoon of milk or water to loosen it up so it layers smoothly.
  • Taste your fruit first, if its not sweet enough, a drizzle of honey in the yogurt itself can fix that.
03 -
  • Layer the fruit so the brightest colors touch the glass, it makes the whole thing look like a magazine photo.
  • If your granola has big clusters, break them up a bit so they fit neatly between the layers and dont topple over.
  • A tiny pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract stirred into the yogurt adds warmth without extra sugar.
