# Helpful Tips:

01 -
  • It tastes like a treat but fuels your morning with protein and fresh fruit.
  • You can throw it together in less time than it takes to brew coffee.
  • The contrast between creamy yogurt, juicy berries, and crunchy granola is absolutely satisfying.
  • It looks impressive enough to serve guests but requires zero cooking skills.
02 -
  • If you add the granola too early, it will turn soggy, so always layer it in just before serving or keep it on the side.
  • Using cold yogurt straight from the fridge makes the parfait more refreshing and helps it hold its layers better.
  • A microplane grater works best for lemon zest because it captures the fragrant oils without the bitter white pith.
03 -
  • Zest the lemon before you juice it, it is much easier to grate when the fruit is whole.
  • If your granola is too sweet, balance it with unsweetened coconut flakes or raw nuts mixed in.
  • Use clear glasses or jars so the colorful layers show through and make the presentation feel special.
