02 -
  • Macerate for maximum flavor: Don't skip the 5-minute maceration step — it transforms ordinary strawberries into a jammy, syrupy topping.
  • Keep granola crunchy: Add the granola layer just before serving to prevent it from becoming soggy.
  • Sweeten to taste: Adjust the maple syrup or honey in the yogurt layer based on the natural sweetness of your strawberries.
  • Make it ahead: Prepare the strawberry and yogurt layers separately and store them in the fridge; assemble with granola and pistachios right before serving.
  • Check your labels: If avoiding gluten or dairy, always verify that your granola and yogurt are certified gluten-free and plant-based respectively.
