# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It takes less time than waiting for toast to brown, but tastes like you planned something special.
  • The cashew butter adds a subtle richness that makes plain yogurt feel luxurious without any cooking.
  • You can prep the layers the night before and grab it straight from the fridge when you're half awake.
  • Every bite has texture—creamy, crunchy, juicy—so it never gets boring halfway through.
02 -
  • Mix the cashew butter and yogurt really well before layering, or you'll get clumps of nut butter that are too rich in one bite and bland yogurt in the next.
  • If you're making this ahead, keep the granola separate until just before eating or it'll turn soggy and lose all its crunch.
  • Use thick Greek yogurt, not regular—it needs to hold the layers without turning runny.
03 -
  • Warm the cashew butter for a few seconds in the microwave if it's too thick to stir—it'll blend into the yogurt like a dream.
  • Use a tall, narrow glass instead of a wide bowl so you get more layers and every bite has a little bit of everything.
  • Taste your yogurt mixture before layering and adjust the sweetness—if your berries are super tart, a tiny bit of honey mixed in beforehand saves you from an unbalanced parfait.
