# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes like dessert but your body knows it's actually nourishing you with protein and real fruit.
  • You can prep it in under ten minutes, which means no excuses on rushed mornings.
  • The texture stays interesting—yogurt stays creamy while granola keeps its crunch if you eat it right away, or softens gently if you wait an hour.
02 -
  • Don't slice your fruit too far in advance—cut bananas especially will oxidize and turn brown, and wet berries will seep into your yogurt and make it runny.
  • If your granola is especially crunchy and you're prepping ahead, keep it separate and add it right before eating, or it'll absorb moisture and turn soft.
03 -
  • Use full-fat Greek yogurt and don't skip the vanilla—these two things are what separates this from tasting like health food and make it taste like a treat.
  • Add the honey directly to the yogurt instead of drizzling it on top; it dissolves better and distributes the sweetness evenly so you're not fishing for honey pockets with your spoon.
