# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Ready in less time than your coffee brews, with zero cooking required.
  • The contrast between cold creamy yogurt, crunchy granola, and juicy berries creates a texture experience that keeps you coming back for more bites.
  • Looks impressive enough to serve guests but honest enough to eat alone on a Tuesday morning without apology.
02 -
  • Dry your berries thoroughly before layering, or they'll release juice and turn your yogurt into berry soup—I learned this the embarrassing way.
  • If you're making these more than an hour ahead, skip the granola in the bottom layer and save it for just under the top berries, or it'll soften into sad mush.
03 -
  • If you're prepping these the night before, keep the granola separate and stir it in just before eating so it stays crispy.
  • Fresh berries at peak ripeness make all the difference—taste one before you buy them if the market allows it.
