# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together in under five minutes, which means you can actually enjoy breakfast instead of rushing through it.
  • The hot honey adds a gentle kick that makes every bite interesting without overwhelming the creamy cottage cheese.
  • You get protein, fruit, and crunch all in one bowl, so it keeps you satisfied way longer than toast ever could.
02 -
  • If you drizzle the hot honey too early, the granola will go soggy before you even sit down to eat.
  • Not all cottage cheese tastes the same—some brands are watery and bland, so find one with good curds and a little richness or this bowl will fall flat.
03 -
  • Use cold cottage cheese straight from the fridge—it makes the contrast with the warm honey even more satisfying.
  • If you like more heat, add an extra pinch of chili flakes to your hot honey or use a spicier variety like Calabrian chili.
