# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It comes together in ten minutes but tastes like you spent way more effort than you actually did.
  • Each spoonful surprises you with a different texture—creamy, crunchy, juicy—so breakfast never gets boring.
  • The fruit naturally sweetens the yogurt, so you skip the guilt of sugary cereals without sacrificing flavor.
02 -
  • Assemble these just before eating or the granola will turn into sweet mush by the time you get to the bottom—I learned this the hard way with a sad sad breakfast yesterday.
  • Greek yogurt is thicker than regular yogurt, which means it holds the layers together instead of turning everything into soup.
03 -
  • Use clear glasses so you can see all those beautiful layers—it makes breakfast feel like a small celebration instead of just eating.
  • Make a big batch of fruit prep on Sunday and these come together in sixty seconds on busy mornings, which is when you need them most.
