# Expert Advice:
01 -
- It comes together in the time it takes to brew coffee, no cooking required.
- The contrast of cold yogurt, crisp apples, and crunchy granola is oddly satisfying in a way that feels indulgent but genuinely good for you.
- You can dress it up or keep it simple depending on what's in your kitchen or how much time you have.
02 -
- The lemon juice isn't just flavor—it's an essential step that prevents browning and keeps your bowl looking intentional for the full ten minutes you're eating it.
- Adding cinnamon directly to the yogurt before assembly changes the whole experience, adding warmth that lingers through each bite.
03 -
- Store your granola separately if you're making this ahead—mixing it in early turns it into granola soup, which is sad and soggy.
- The texture payoff comes from eating it quickly, so this is a bowl designed for sitting down and actually tasting it rather than eating at your desk while staring at email.
