# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Ready in minutes, yet it feels like you made something impressive for yourself.
  • The contrast between cold creamy yogurt and crispy granola creates an addictive texture that keeps you reaching for another spoonful.
  • It's forgiving enough to use whatever berries you have on hand, making it impossible to mess up.
02 -
  • Granola can turn soggy if it sits too long in yogurt, so if you're eating this later, save some granola to sprinkle on top right before serving.
  • Pat your berries dry with paper towels before layering—any excess moisture will dilute the yogurt and make the whole thing taste watered down.
03 -
  • The secret to keeping granola crunchy is layering it in the middle rather than on top if you're preparing these even an hour ahead—the yogurt softens it from below but the granola from above stays crispy.
  • Taste a berry before you commit to adding sweetener; ripe berries have their own natural sugar, and honey can sometimes overshadow that delicate flavor you paid for at the market.
