# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together in 10 minutes flat, no cooking required—perfect for those mornings when you need something that looks impressive but isn't fussy.
  • The tartness of lemon cutting through creamy yogurt and sweet berries is honestly addictive, and every spoonful feels lighter than it actually is.
02 -
  • If you make these more than 15 minutes ahead of serving, keep the granola separate and add it just before eating—nobody wants a soggy granola situation.
  • The quality of your yogurt matters way more than you'd think; creamy, thick Greek yogurt makes this taste luxe while thinner yogurt makes it feel watered down.
03 -
  • Toast your granola in a dry skillet for 30 seconds right before serving if it's been sitting in a bag—it perks up and gets even crunchier.
  • A microplane zester makes lemon zest feel effortless and gives you finer, more flavorful pieces than a box grater.
