# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It takes ten minutes but tastes like you spent way more care than you did.
  • You can see every beautiful layer through the glass, which somehow makes it taste better.
  • It's flexible enough to use whatever fruit is sitting on your counter without ruining anything.
02 -
  • Assemble these right before serving or the granola becomes sad and soggy by the time you eat it—this isn't a meal prep food unless you keep the granola separate and add it at the last second.
  • The fruit releases juice as it sits, which sounds like it would be bad but actually means every bite gets progressively creamier, so if you do make it ahead, that transformation is kind of intentional magic.
03 -
  • Cold yogurt straight from the fridge tastes better than room temperature—the temperature contrast with warm fruit is part of what makes this work.
  • If berries are expensive or out of season, frozen berries thawed slightly work beautifully and actually cost less, plus they're just as nutritious.
