# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It's ready in the time it takes to find two clean glasses, no cooking required.
  • Protein-packed enough to actually keep you full until lunch, unlike most breakfast carbs.
  • The textural contrast of creamy, crunchy, and juicy all in one bite feels like a small victory before 9 AM.
02 -
  • If you make this more than a couple hours ahead, the granola will soften—save some in a separate container and stir it in right before eating if that bothers you.
  • The cashew butter needs to be at room temperature or it won't blend smoothly; cold nut butter just sits there looking stubborn.
03 -
  • Use a small whisk or fork to blend the yogurt and cashew butter instead of a spoon—you'll get it smooth faster and with less frustration.
  • If berries are watery, pat them dry before layering so they don't make the whole thing soggy and sad.
