# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • No cooking required — ready in just 10 minutes from start to finish.
  • Beautiful layers — vibrant reds, creamy whites, and earthy greens make every glass a showstopper.
  • Naturally nutritious — packed with protein from Greek yogurt, healthy fats from pistachios, and natural sweetness from fresh strawberries.
  • Easily adaptable — works with plant-based yogurt, gluten-free granola, or whatever berries you have on hand.
  • Perfect for entertaining — assemble individual jars ahead of time and let guests dig in at their own pace.
02 -
  • Macerate for maximum flavor: Don't skip the 5-minute macerating step — it transforms ordinary sliced strawberries into a lightly syrupy, intensely flavored fruit layer.
  • Keep it crunchy: Add granola and pistachios just before serving to prevent them from going soggy in contact with the yogurt and fruit juices.
  • Sweeten to taste: Taste your yogurt mixture before assembling and adjust the maple syrup or honey to your preferred level of sweetness.
  • Make it dairy-free: A good-quality coconut or almond yogurt works beautifully as a plant-based swap without sacrificing creaminess.
  • Allergen check: Always verify product labels on granola and yogurt if serving guests with dairy, gluten, or tree nut sensitivities.
