# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It feels indulgent but sneaks in protein and probiotics without any guilt.
  • You can whip it together while the coffee brews and still have time to shower.
  • Kids actually eat fruit when this is involved, which feels like winning the lottery.
  • It tastes expensive but costs less than a fancy coffee.
02 -
  • If the honey is too stiff to whisk, warm it for ten seconds in the microwave so it blends without clumping.
  • Taste before serving and adjust the sweetness, some yogurts are more tart and need an extra drizzle of honey to balance.
  • Never skip the lemon zest, the oils in the peel carry flavor the juice alone cannot deliver.
03 -
  • Use a microplane to zest the lemon directly over the bowl so the oils fall straight into the yogurt.
  • If you are making this vegan, choose a thick coconut or almond yogurt and use maple syrup, the texture stays luscious.
  • Always taste the yogurt plain first, some brands are saltier or more tart and you will need to adjust the honey accordingly.
