# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • You can assemble it in under ten minutes without turning on a single burner or measuring anything precisely.
  • The layers look impressive enough to serve guests but require zero culinary skill.
  • It keeps you full for hours without feeling heavy or overly sweet.
  • You can swap ingredients based on whats ripe or what you already have in the fridge.
02 -
  • Assemble these right before eating or the granola will soften and lose its crunch within an hour.
  • If you use frozen fruit, thaw and drain it first or the yogurt will turn watery and the layers will collapse.
  • Greek yogurt works better than regular because it doesnt separate or slide around as much.
03 -
  • Use clear glasses or jars so the layers show through, it makes the whole thing more appealing without any extra effort.
  • If your yogurt is too thick, stir in a teaspoon of milk or water to loosen it just enough to spread easily.
  • Toast your granola lightly in a dry pan before layering to bring out the flavor and make it even crunchier.
