# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It's ready in 15 minutes with zero cooking, perfect for those mornings when ambition is low but standards are high.
  • The flavors actually complement each other—earthy matcha, bright berries, and granola crunch create a conversation between textures that keeps you interested bite after bite.
02 -
  • Matcha needs to be whisked into something cool and creamy or it clumps stubbornly; I learned this the hard way by adding it to hot water once and never again.
  • Don't assemble these more than a couple hours before eating or the granola will soften into the yogurt, which some people love and others mourn—know which camp you're in.
03 -
  • Keep your matcha in an airtight container away from light and heat; it oxidizes quickly and loses that vibrant color and flavor if you let it sit carelessly.
  • Buy whole strawberries and slice them just before assembling—pre-sliced berries weep into the yogurt and turn everything into a watery mess.
