# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • You get breakfast on the table in the time it takes to make coffee, with zero cooking required.
  • The contrast between creamy yogurt, juicy fruit, and that satisfying granola crunch is genuinely addictive.
  • You can build it with whatever fruit is actually in your kitchen, so it's never the same twice.
02 -
  • Granola absorbs moisture fast—assemble this right before eating or the crunch becomes soggy, which changes the whole experience.
  • Frozen fruit works perfectly if fresh isn't available; thaw it slightly so the juice mingles with the yogurt instead of sitting as ice crystals.
03 -
  • Use room-temperature yogurt instead of cold—it layers more smoothly and tastes creamier on your tongue.
  • If your granola tends toward soggy, try toasting it lightly in a dry pan for a minute before using it; the extra crunch lasts longer.
