# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It tastes like a vacation in a glass, but comes together faster than ordering coffee.
  • The contrast between cool yogurt, jammy sweetness, and that satisfying granola crunch keeps you coming back for another spoonful.
02 -
  • Add the granola at the very last moment if you want it to stay crunchy; it softens faster than you'd expect once it touches yogurt, so timing is everything.
  • Don't skip the step of loosening the preserves—thick jam won't distribute evenly and you'll end up with pockets that are either too sweet or too plain.
03 -
  • Toast your own granola if you have time; the difference in flavor between fresh-toasted and store-bought is remarkable, and it'll stay crunchier longer.
  • Chill your glasses for ten minutes before assembling if you have the time—cold glass keeps everything fresher tasting and it feels more intentional when you eat it.
