# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It's genuinely ready in five minutes, which means you can actually make it on a weekday morning.
  • The protein keeps you full through mid-morning rather than sending you searching for a snack by 10 AM.
  • Everything stays crispy and separate—the granola doesn't turn to mush because there's no liquid bath.
  • You can customize it however you want without worrying about balancing flavors or textures.
02 -
  • The moment this bowl sits, moisture from the berries begins to travel—if you make it ahead, keep the berries and granola separate and assemble just before eating.
  • Check your granola's sugar content or you'll end up with something that tastes more like dessert than breakfast.
03 -
  • Freeze your berries briefly before assembling if you want extra coldness without watering down the yogurt.
  • Full-fat Greek yogurt is worth the splurge because the texture is noticeably richer and keeps you satisfied longer than the low-fat versions.
