03 - Distribute approximately 2 tablespoons of mixed berries over the granola layer in each glass, pressing gently to settle.
04 - Repeat the layering sequence—yogurt, granola, then berries—until all ingredients are used, ensuring the final layer is berries for visual appeal.

# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • It looks impressive with zero actual cooking skills required
  • You can assemble it in under ten minutes with whatever you have on hand
02 -
  • The granola starts getting soggy after about two hours, so do not try to make these the night before
  • Greek yogurt can sometimes be too tart for kids, so vanilla yogurt is perfectly fine if you need to win over picky eaters
03 -
  • If your berries are not perfectly sweet, macerate them with a teaspoon of sugar for ten minutes before layering
  • Run your spoon under hot water between scoops if you are making these for company to get those picture perfect layers
