# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together in moments and feels café-fancy with zero cooking.
  • You can reinvent it with whatever fruit or crunchy topping calls out from your pantry or fruit bowl.
02 -
  • Overripe banana will make the bowl gloopy rather than fresh.
  • Tossing the berries with a squeeze of lemon keeps them perky and vibrant, even if prepping ahead.
03 -
  • Let cottage cheese drain for a minute in a fine sieve if you prefer it extra thick and not watery at the bottom of your bowl.
  • Layer granola last to keep it crunchy against the cheese and fruit.
