# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It comes together in 10 minutes flat, which means you can actually make breakfast feel special on a regular Tuesday.
  • The contrast between creamy, crunchy, and bright fruit textures keeps every spoonful interesting and feels a little indulgent.
  • Guava preserves have this tropical punch that makes people think you spent way more time than you actually did.
02 -
  • The order matters more than you'd think—wet ingredients on top of dry ones will make everything soggy, so always finish with yogurt and fruit before serving.
  • Guava preserves vary in thickness depending on the brand, so taste yours first and adjust how much you use based on how sweet you like things.
03 -
  • Prep your fruit the night before and store it in an airtight container so assembly in the morning feels effortless and you're not rushing to slice things.
  • If guava preserves are too thick to spread, warm them slightly in a microwave for 15 seconds—they'll become spreadable without becoming runny.
