# Top Tips:

01 -
  • It comes together in the time it takes to brew coffee, yet tastes like you actually tried.
  • The tartness of lemon makes Greek yogurt feel less heavy and more like a treat.
  • Layering creates those little moments of textural surprise—creamy, then tart, then crunch.
02 -
  • Granola becomes soggy fast if you let it sit in yogurt—this is why timing is everything, so assemble and eat in the same motion.
  • Fresh lemon zest makes an enormous difference; the zest carries more flavor than the juice alone, so don't skip it.
  • If you're prepping for guests, keep the granola separate and let them layer their own—it's actually more fun that way.
03 -
  • Toast your granola in a dry pan for 30 seconds just before serving if it's been sitting around—it brings back that fresh, crispy texture.
  • A tiny pinch of salt in the yogurt mixture actually amplifies the lemon flavor and makes everything taste more intentional.
