# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They're assembled in under 15 minutes, which means you can make something restaurant-worthy without stress.
  • The contrast between cool yogurt, juicy berries, and that satisfying granola crunch is honestly addictive.
  • Shot glasses make them feel special and portion-controlled, so there's no guilt in having two.
02 -
  • Granola absorbs moisture, so if you assemble these more than an hour ahead, the crunch becomes more of a soft chew—which some people love but purists find tragic.
  • Cold yogurt resists sweetener, so if your honey won't blend smoothly, microwave the honey for 10 seconds first and then stir it in while the yogurt is still cold.
03 -
  • Room-temperature berries release their juice faster than cold ones, so if you have time, let them sit on the counter for 30 minutes before dicing and macerating.
  • The secret to these looking elegant is uniform assembly—measure your yogurt and granola with actual spoons so each glass looks intentional and balanced.
