# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The contrast between cold creamy yogurt and burst in your mouth berries keeps every spoonful interesting
  • You can assemble these in under ten minutes but they look like you put in real effort
  • They are equally perfect for a quick weekday breakfast or an elegant dinner party dessert
02 -
  • Granola gets soggy fast so add the final crunch right before serving or keep it separate until you eat
  • Room temperature yogurt creates a softer creamier texture while cold yogurt gives you more defined layers
  • The honey drizzle between layers matters because it prevents the fruit from making everything too watery
03 -
  • Use clear glasses that show off the layers because the presentation is half the appeal here
  • Let the yogurt sit on the counter for ten minutes before layering for smoother easier spreading
