# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together in literally ten minutes flat, which matters when mornings are chaotic
  • The texture game here is ridiculous, creamy against crunchy against fresh fruit in every single bite
02 -
  • Adding the oats raw works perfectly fine, but toasting them in a dry pan for a couple minutes deepens their flavor significantly
  • This needs to be eaten right after assembly because the oats and granola will get soggy if they sit too long
03 -
  • Stir a tiny bit of vanilla extract into your yogurt before assembling if you want to elevate the flavor without adding sugar
  • Let your sliced fruit sit for five minutes to release some juices before adding it to the bowl
