# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It comes together in 15 minutes flat, no cooking required, just intentional layering and a little whisking magic.
  • The matcha gives you a subtle earthy sophistication while the strawberries keep it bright and naturally sweet.
  • It looks restaurant-worthy in a clear glass, which somehow makes breakfast feel like self-care instead of just fuel.
02 -
  • Don't let the matcha powder sit on top of the yogurt before whisking—it'll clump and create weird gritty pockets that throw off the whole experience.
  • If you make these ahead, the granola will soften slightly from the yogurt moisture, which is fine, but save a little extra to sprinkle on top right before serving if you want maximum crunch.
03 -
  • If you're making multiple parfaits and the matcha yogurt starts to separate or thin out, whisk in a tablespoon of Greek yogurt to bring back the richness.
  • The strawberry juice that pools at the bottom is liquid gold—use it to gently stir through the yogurt as you eat, or drizzle a little honey and eat it like a sauce.
