# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The creamy tang of Greek yogurt balances the tropical sweetness of guava in a way that feels luxurious yet light
  • You can assemble these in under ten minutes for an impressive breakfast that looks like it came from a restaurant
02 -
  • The granola will start to soften after about an hour, so if you are making these for a party, keep the granola separate and add it just before serving
  • Room temperature yogurt layers much more smoothly than cold, so let it sit on the counter for ten minutes before you start assembling
03 -
  • Buy the best quality granola you can find or make your own, because the texture really makes or breaks this recipe
  • If your guava preserves are too thick to spread, warm them in the microwave for 15 seconds
