# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes indulgent enough for weekend mornings but quick enough for rushed weekdays.
  • The contrast between creamy yogurt and crunchy granola hits exactly right, every single bite.
  • You actually feel energized instead of sluggish an hour later, which is its own kind of magic.
02 -
  • Don't add the sweetener to the yogurt and let it sit—whip it in fresh so it distributes evenly and contributes to that cloud texture.
  • The granola placement is crucial; put it on top last, never mixed in, or you'll end up with sad, soggy cereal instead of satisfying crunch.
03 -
  • Chill your bowl in the freezer for five minutes before assembling if your kitchen runs warm; it keeps everything from getting melty too quickly.
  • Buy strawberries a day or two before you need them so they're actually ripe and flavorful instead of that sad, mealy texture that ruins everything.
