# Expert Advice:
01 -
- It comes together in ten minutes, which means even rushed mornings feel manageable.
- The texture contrast—creamy, juicy, crunchy in every spoonful—keeps it interesting instead of boring.
- Lemon makes everything taste fresher, and paired with blueberries, it feels lighter than it actually is.
02 -
- Granola softens faster than you'd think if it sits in yogurt too long, so either eat immediately or keep it separate until the last second.
- The lemon zest matters more than the juice—zest gives you texture and concentrated flavor, while juice is just sour.
03 -
- Chill your glasses for five minutes before assembling if you want the yogurt to stay cold longer and taste that much more refreshing.
- Zest the lemon before juicing it—the juice dissolves the oils, so reversed order means less flavorful zest.
