# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It's ready faster than your coffee brews, which means no excuses on rushed mornings.
  • High in protein but doesn't feel heavy, so you won't crash at 10 AM like you do with toast.
  • Customizable enough that you can change it based on what's in your fridge and your mood.
02 -
  • Don't assemble this more than a few minutes before eating unless you want granola that tastes like a soggy cereal bar.
  • Cottage cheese brands taste wildly different, so if yours seems bland, add a tiny pinch of salt or vanilla to wake it up.
03 -
  • If your cottage cheese tastes sour, you probably bought a brand that's been sitting too long; check the date and try a different one.
  • A squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the strawberries brightens everything and makes the flavors pop like you added a secret ingredient.
