# Expert Tips:
01 -
- It comes together in ten minutes flat but looks like you tried really hard
- The layers stay gorgeous so you can make them ahead for brunch guests
02 -
- These need to be served within an hour or the granola turns into soft mush which is still tasty just not the same experience
- Clear glasses are non negotiable here because half the joy is seeing those pretty layers from the outside
03 -
- Room temperature yogurt layers better than cold straight from the fridge
- Frozen berries work in a pinch but thaw and drain them first or you will get pink juice pooling at the bottom
