# Helpful Tips:

01 -

It tastes like a fancy café breakfast but comes together faster than your coffee brews.
The textural contrast—creamy, juicy, crunchy—keeps every spoonful interesting and satisfying.
Matcha is quietly sneaky about giving you sustained energy without the afternoon crash.

02 -

Wet granola is a tragedy—don't assemble this more than a few hours ahead unless you enjoy eating softened cereal with your yogurt.
Matcha powder needs to be whisked or stirred aggressively, or it'll settle and you'll get pockets of intense flavor followed by plain yogurt, which is disappointing.

03 -

A tiny pinch of sea salt in the yogurt mixture rounds out the matcha flavor and makes everything taste more sophisticated without tasting salty.
If you're making these for guests, prep the matcha yogurt and slice the strawberries ahead, then assemble individual parfaits right before serving—it feels effortless and tastes pristine.
