# Expert Advice:
01 -
- The tart lemon cuts through rich yogurt while blueberries burst with sweetness in every spoonful
- You can assemble these in Mason jars and grab them on busy weekday mornings
- They look impressive enough for brunch but come together faster than you can brew coffee
02 -
- The granola gets soggy if these sit too long, so add the final granola layer right before serving
- Room temperature yogurt mixes more smoothly with the honey and lemon, so take it out of the fridge ten minutes early
- Clear glasses show off the layers best, making these feel like a special treat even on random Tuesdays
03 -
- Zest your lemon before juicing it, it's much easier to handle the whole fruit when it still has all its juice inside
- Use a long spoon to serve, it reaches all the way down to grab every layer in one perfect bite
