To assemble, start with a layer of vanilla yogurt at the bottom of a glass or bowl. Next, add a layer of sliced or whole fresh strawberries. Sprinkle a generous amount of granola over the strawberries. Repeat the layers until the container is full, finishing with a final topping of granola and a few strawberries. It is best served immediately after assembly to maintain the granola's crunch.
