# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The combination of creamy tangy yogurt and sweet tropical guava creates instant sunshine in a bowl
  • It comes together in under 10 minutes but looks like you put way more thought into it
  • You can prep everything the night before for an effortless grab and go morning
02 -
  • The granola will start getting soggy after an hour so either serve immediately or keep the crunchy layer separate until the last minute
  • Room temperature yogurt layers much better than cold straight from the fridge so let it sit out for 5 minutes before assembling
  • Clear glasses make all the difference here because those layered colors are half the experience
03 -
  • Use the back of a spoon to gently press each layer down as you build which helps everything stay compact and pretty
  • Chill your serving glasses for 10 minutes before assembling for a restaurant style presentation that stays cooler longer
