# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It's ready in 10 minutes flat, no cooking required, just honest layering and tasting as you go.
  • The protein combination keeps you full without that heavy breakfast feeling that makes mid-morning exhausting.
  • Every spoonful hits different because you're getting creamy, crunchy, tart, and sweet all at once.
02 -
  • Don't stir the whole thing together before eating—that defeats the entire purpose of layering, and you'll end up with a brown mush instead of distinct textures.
  • If your granola is the super crunchy kind, add it just before eating; if it's softer, you can layer it further down because it'll survive longer without getting soggy.
03 -
  • Make the yogurt-cashew blend the night before if mornings are chaotic; it keeps in the fridge for 2 days and saves you time when you're actually building the parfait.
  • Toast your own cashews at home if you can—they taste completely different from the pre-roasted versions, nuttier and fresher, and the aroma while they're toasting is worth it alone.
