# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Nobody will believe breakfast took you under 10 minutes—it looks and tastes so fresh.
  • This bowl is endlessly adaptable to whatever fruit is in your kitchen, so you never get bored.
02 -
  • Once, I mixed the fruit and granola before adding cottage cheese and it got soggy fast—layering is everything for texture.
  • Letting the bowl sit even five minutes can lead to a mushy base, so eat up while it's bright and crunchy.
03 -
  • A pinch of flaky salt over the top magnifies all the flavors—don't skip it if you have some on hand.
  • Use your prettiest bowl; somehow it just tastes better that way.
