# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It takes five minutes and requires no cooking, making it perfect for mornings when you're barely awake.
  • The combination of protein powder and Greek yogurt keeps you satisfied well into the afternoon.
  • Everything stays wonderfully crunchy because the granola never touches liquid—it's the opposite of a soggy bowl.
02 -
  • The order matters more than you'd think—yogurt first, protein powder mixed in, then granola, then everything else, because if the granola sits in the yogurt even for a minute, it starts absorbing moisture and loses its magic.
  • Greek yogurt brands vary wildly in thickness, so if yours seems runnier than expected, that's fine, but whisk the protein powder in extra thoroughly to prevent lumps.
03 -
  • Buy granola in bulk from the loose bin at natural food stores—it's fresher, cheaper, and you can taste-test before committing to a big bag.
  • Room-temperature berries taste noticeably sweeter than cold ones straight from the fridge, so pull them out a few minutes before assembling if you want maximum flavor.
