# Expert Tips:
01 -
- It takes ten minutes flat, and five of those are just standing there while you contemplate your life choices.
- The tartness of lemon yogurt against sweet blueberries hits a flavor balance that tastes fancy but requires zero special skills.
- Granola stays somehow both crispy and creamy depending on when you dig in, which feels like a small miracle.
02 -
- Fresh lemon juice makes an impossible difference—bottled lemon juice tastes like chemistry, and your palate will know you cut corners.
- If you're not zesting your lemon right over the yogurt, you're losing the best part; that moment when the oils hit the cold cream is what makes this sing.
03 -
- Chill your glasses in the freezer for five minutes before assembling if you want your parfait to feel extra cool and composed, which makes the whole experience feel more intentional.
- If you make homemade granola, toast it with a little extra lemon zest mixed into the dry ingredients before baking—it sounds wild but it's how you turn good into unforgettable.
