02 - Rinse strawberries under cool water, remove hulls, and slice into bite-sized pieces.
03 - In each of 4 clear glasses or jars, create layers by starting with 2-3 tablespoons of matcha yogurt on the bottom, followed by a layer of sliced strawberries, then 2-3 tablespoons of granola.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together in fifteen minutes flat, no cooking required, which means breakfast can feel effortless and elegant at the same time.
  • The layers look so pretty in a glass that you'll actually want to photograph your breakfast instead of just eating it standing over the sink.
  • You can prep it the night before and grab it from the fridge, making mornings feel less like a rush and more like a choice.
02 -
  • Matcha powder clumps aggressively if you don't whisk it thoroughly into the yogurt first; try whisking it with a little honey before adding it all at once to avoid grainy pockets.
  • Granola absorbs moisture and loses its crunch over time, so assemble this as close to eating as possible, or keep the granola in a separate container and sprinkle it on each spoonful as you go.
03 -
  • Chill your glasses for ten minutes before assembly; a cold surface keeps the layers from melting into each other and the yogurt stays fluffy instead of separating into liquid.
  • If you're meal prepping, assemble the yogurt and fruit layers in jars the night before, then scatter granola and nuts on top just before eating so they stay crispy and you get that satisfying texture contrast with every spoonful.
