# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Everything stays cold and crisp, so theres no waiting around for anything to cool down or heat up.
  • You can see every colorful layer through the glass, which makes breakfast feel less like a chore and more like something you actually want to eat.
  • It takes less than ten minutes and uses whatever fruit is sitting in your fridge, so theres no pressure to plan ahead.
02 -
  • Assemble these right before you eat them, because granola softens fast once it touches yogurt and you lose that satisfying crunch.
  • If your yogurt is too thick, stir in a teaspoon of milk or water to loosen it slightly so it layers more smoothly between the fruit.
03 -
  • Chill your glasses in the freezer for ten minutes before assembling so everything stays cold and refreshing longer.
  • Use a clear glass or jar so you can see the layers, it makes the whole thing taste better somehow when it looks this good.
