# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Takes five minutes but tastes intentional, like you actually planned breakfast instead of just grabbing something.
  • The hot honey hits different—that warmth against cold cottage cheese and crunchy granola is genuinely addictive.
  • Protein-packed enough to keep you satisfied, sweet enough to feel like a treat.
02 -
  • Don't wait to eat this—the window between crunchy granola and soggy granola is shorter than you think, so have your spoon ready.
  • If your cottage cheese is very cold, the hot honey will cool down faster; letting it sit for 30 seconds after assembly helps maintain that temperature contrast that makes this bowl special.
03 -
  • Room-temperature cottage cheese before assembly means the hot honey won't cool down instantly, extending that magical temperature contrast.
  • If you make this regularly, keep your granola in an airtight container and your berries washed and ready; the whole assembly becomes second nature.
