# Helpful Hints:

01 -
  • It comes together in under ten minutes, which means you can actually eat it before your coffee goes cold.
  • The protein keeps you full past mid-morning, no 10 a.m. snack attack required.
  • Every bite has a different texture—creamy, juicy, crunchy—so it never feels boring no matter how many times you make it.
02 -
  • Don't prep this bowl the night before unless you want soggy granola; the magic is in eating it fresh and crunchy.
  • If your cottage cheese tastes a bit bland on its own, the pineapple juice and honey will transform it, so trust the process.
03 -
  • Add a squeeze of lime juice over the pineapple if you want to brighten it up and add a little edge to the sweetness.
  • Toast your granola in a dry skillet for thirty seconds before adding it if you want to wake up its flavor and add an extra layer of crunch.
