06 - 1 tsp chia seeds
07 - 1 tsp honey or maple syrup (for added sweetness)

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It takes five minutes and requires zero cooking skill, so even on rushed mornings you can have something substantial.
  • The texture contrast between creamy yogurt, crispy granola, and juicy berries makes every spoonful interesting.
  • You get real protein that actually keeps you satisfied until lunch, no mid-morning energy crash.
02 -
  • If you make this ahead, keep the granola and yogurt completely separate until you're ready to eat, otherwise it absorbs moisture and turns to mush.
  • The protein powder really does need to be stirred in completely—half-mixed powder tastes chalky and ruins the whole thing.
03 -
  • Use full-fat Greek yogurt if you have the calories for it—the taste difference is substantial and it genuinely tastes more like a treat.
  • Chill your bowl in the freezer for two minutes before eating if you want everything to taste extra fresh and the yogurt to feel creamier by contrast.
