# Tips from the Pros:

01 -
  • It comes together in five minutes, which means you can actually make breakfast on a busy morning without stress.
  • That hit of spicy heat in the hot honey cuts through the creaminess in a way that feels indulgent but completely guilt-free.
  • The texture play between creamy, crunchy, and juicy is genuinely satisfying in a way that keeps you full.
02 -
  • The magic of this bowl lives in temperature contrast, so if your cottage cheese is room temperature, it won't hit the same—use it straight from the fridge.
  • Homemade hot honey keeps better than you'd think and transforms any bowl instantly, so making a batch on Sunday means easy breakfasts all week.
03 -
  • Cold cottage cheese from the fridge meeting warm hot honey is the entire point—never skip the temperature contrast by using room temperature anything.
  • A really good granola makes more difference than you'd expect, so if you find a brand you love, it's worth buying in bigger quantities and keeping on hand.
