# Expert Insights:

01 -
  • It comes together in ten minutes, no cooking required, yet tastes like you actually tried.
  • The combination of creamy, tangy yogurt with bright fruit feels indulgent but keeps you satisfied without heaviness.
02 -
  • Don't slice your banana until you're ready to eat because it browns faster than you think, turning the whole thing gray and sad.
  • If your yogurt is too thick or tangy for your liking, a splash of milk stirred in can fix it, and a tiny pinch of vanilla extract hides sharpness beautifully.
03 -
  • If you're buying granola specifically for this, spend a tiny bit more on the good stuff because it actually stays crispy and doesn't taste like cardboard.
  • A pinch of cardamom or cinnamon stirred into the yogurt changes everything—it adds warmth without announcing itself, which is exactly what spice should do.
