# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They look impressively elegant but take just fifteen minutes, making you feel like you actually have your life together.
  • The textural contrast between creamy yogurt, juicy berries, and crunchy granola never gets old, even after the tenth spoonful.
  • Shot glasses feel special and fun, transforming something simple into an event-worthy bite.
02 -
  • Granola absorbs moisture and goes soft within an hour, so assemble these right before serving unless you're okay with a softer texture and enjoy the marbled yogurt effect.
  • If you make them more than thirty minutes ahead, keep the granola separate and sprinkle it on top just before eating, treating the assembled part as the base layer you'll customize.
03 -
  • Buy Greek yogurt in larger containers rather than individual cups; it's cheaper and tastes fresher when you control the mixture yourself.
  • If you're serving these at an event, assemble the yogurt and fruit layers an hour ahead and keep them chilled, then add granola right before guests arrive so it stays genuinely crunchy instead of turning to paste.
