- 2Slice bananas just before serving to prevent browning and maintain texture.
- 3Toast walnuts lightly in a dry pan for 2 minutes to deepen their nutty flavor.
- 4Drizzle honey last so it pools on top instead of sinking into the yogurt.
- 5For extra crunch, add walnuts right before eating so they stay crisp.
- 6Make ahead by pre-slicing banana and storing in lemon water; assemble just before serving.
