# Expert Advice:
01 -
- Zero cooking means you can assemble breakfast in the time it takes your coffee to brew, and honestly some mornings that is the only kind of recipe that stands a chance.
- The layers look effortlessly impressive, so you can serve it to overnight guests and watch them think you put in far more effort than you actually did.
02 -
- Sliced banana turns brown and mushy within an hour or two, so if you are prepping these for a brunch spread, leave the banana out until just before serving or substitute with mango.
- Not all granola is gluten-free even when it sounds like it should be, so read the label carefully if that matters to you or your guests.
03 -
- Put your yogurt in the coldest part of the fridge overnight so it is thick and firm when you assemble, because warm runny yogurt turns parfaits into a sad homogeneous puddle.
- Taste your honey before drizzling it, since a strongly flavored honey like buckwheat or chestnut will overpower delicate fruit, while something mild like clover or orange blossom lets everything shine.
