# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It takes five minutes but tastes like you planned breakfast the night before.
  • The contrast of cool creamy cottage cheese with warm spicy honey is genuinely addictive.
  • It's high enough in protein to actually keep you full, not just pretending.
02 -
  • The hot honey needs to be warm enough to taste spicy but not so hot it breaks the cottage cheese—a gentle warmth is what you want.
  • Assemble this right before eating or the granola starts losing its snap and the berries begin to weep into everything.
03 -
  • Assembly temperature matters—if your cottage cheese is ice cold from the fridge and your honey is properly warm, the bowl tastes exponentially better.
  • Using a wide shallow bowl instead of a deep one keeps the granola from getting soggy as fast and makes the whole thing look intentional instead of thrown together.
