# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It's ready in the time it takes to slice a banana, yet tastes intentional enough for guests.
  • The granola stays crispy because you eat it right away, not soggy like overnight oats.
  • You can use whatever fruit you have on hand, so it never feels like a chore.
02 -
  • Assemble these just before serving or the granola absorbs moisture and turns soft and disappointing within an hour.
  • If you use low-fat yogurt, add a splash of cream or whole milk to mimic that luxurious texture that makes each spoonful feel indulgent.
03 -
  • Clear glasses matter more than you'd think—half the pleasure is watching the colors shift as you eat down through the layers.
  • If your granola tends to clump, break it into uneven chunks with your hands before layering so it distributes better and stays visible between the yogurt.
