Storage: For the best texture, store the yogurt, granola, and fruit separately. Refrigerate the yogurt and fruit for up to 3 days. Store granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. If fully assembled, enjoy within 24 hours, as the granola will soften over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How can I make this dairy-free?
A: Use a dairy-free yogurt made from almond, coconut, oat, or soy milk and choose dairy-free granola.
