# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It's genuinely fast—ten minutes from fridge to table, no cooking required.
  • Every spoonful hits different because the textures change with each layer, so you never get bored mid-bowl.
  • You can make it feel fancy or throw it together on a Tuesday; it works both ways.
02 -
  • Assemble right before eating—if you make it ahead, the granola absorbs moisture and loses its crunch, which is honestly the whole point of layering in the first place.
  • Greek yogurt matters more than you'd think; regular yogurt is too thin and separates into watery layers, while Greek yogurt stays creamy and holds everything together.
03 -
  • Buy granola from places that make it fresh—it stays crunchier longer because it hasn't been sitting in bags absorbing humidity.
  • Slice fruit directly into the glass instead of prepping it on a board; it saves a dish and feels more immediate and present.
