# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They're bite-sized perfection, which means you can eat more without guilt and they disappear fast enough that no one asks for seconds.
  • The contrast between creamy yogurt, juicy berries, and crispy granola keeps your mouth genuinely interested in every spoonful.
  • Assembly takes barely fifteen minutes, so even on hectic days you can pull off looking like you tried.
02 -
  • Assemble these right before serving because granola softens quickly, and soft granola is sad granola.
  • If you must make them ahead, assemble the yogurt and berries but hold the granola separately, then sprinkle it on just before eating.
03 -
  • Chill your shot glasses in the freezer for ten minutes before assembly if you want them to stay cold longer and feel extra fancy.
  • If you're serving these to a crowd, assemble them no more than an hour ahead and keep them refrigerated with granola added at the last moment.
