# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It's ready in under ten minutes but feels indulgent enough for the weekend.
  • The texture contrast—creamy, crunchy, juicy—keeps every spoonful interesting.
  • You can use whatever fruit you have on hand and it always works.
  • It looks beautiful in a glass, which somehow makes the whole morning better.
02 -
  • Assemble your parfait right before eating or the granola will go soft and sad; there's no amount of love that can fix soggy granola.
  • If kiwi sits in yogurt for more than a few minutes, it releases enzymes that make the yogurt runny—so either skip it or save it for the top.
  • Use clear glasses because half the joy of this dish is watching the layers; the visual makes you want to eat it slower.
03 -
  • Cold yogurt straight from the fridge makes the whole experience feel more luxurious—don't let it sit out beforehand.
  • If berries are out of season or expensive, frozen fruit thaws beautifully and releases even more juice into the yogurt layers.
