# Expert Tips:
01 -
- No cooking required means you can throw this together before you've had your coffee.
- It's versatile enough to double as breakfast, snack, or dessert depending on your mood.
02 -
- If you let the parfaits sit too long, the granola will get soggy and lose its crunch.
- Adding a little vanilla extract or lemon zest to the yogurt makes the flavors really pop.
03 -
- Don’t overfill the glasses or jars—give yourself enough room to mix the layers with your spoon later.
- The riper the fruit, the less sweetener you need—let the berries do most of the work.
