# Expert Tips:
01 -
- This parfait comes together in minutes, yet looks (and tastes) like you tried much harder than you did.
- You can easily swap in whatever fruit, nuts, or sweetener you have around without sacrificing flavor or joy.
02 -
- If you let the parfait sit too long, the granola will go soft—always assemble right before serving.
- Adding a little lemon or orange zest to the yogurt turns it from ordinary to vibrant and bright.
03 -
- Layering the yogurt first prevents granola from getting soggy too soon.
- A little citrus zest changes everything—don’t skip it if you have a lemon on hand.
