# Top Tips:

01 -
  • It comes together in under 10 minutes, which means even on your most chaotic mornings, breakfast actually happens.
  • You get real, sustained energy from the protein without that heavy feeling that makes you sluggish by mid-morning.
  • The texture contrast—creamy, juicy, crunchy—makes eating feel like you're treating yourself rather than fueling up.
02 -
  • The granola will soften within a few minutes of contact with moisture, so if you're meal-prepping, pack it separately and add it just before eating—I learned this the hard way with a sad, soggy bowl on day three.
  • Not all cottage cheese brands taste the same; some are tangier or grainier than others, so taste yours first and adjust with a tiny bit of honey if it needs sweetness.
03 -
  • If your cottage cheese tastes too tangy, a tiny drizzle of honey stirred in before plating smooths everything out without overwhelming the natural flavors.
  • Toast your coconut in a dry skillet for two minutes before using it—the fragrance that fills your kitchen is warning enough that this small step transforms the whole bowl.
