# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It's ready in less time than it takes to pour coffee, yet feels like you actually made breakfast.
  • The contrast between creamy cottage cheese and crisp fruit keeps your mouth interested the whole time.
  • You can throw it together with whatever fruit is sitting in your kitchen, so it's never boring.
02 -
  • If your cottage cheese has excess liquid, drain it gently in a fine mesh strainer for a few minutes before assembling, or it will water down your honey.
  • The moment you assemble this bowl is the moment to eat it; fruit releases water the longer it sits, which dilutes everything you worked for.
03 -
  • Buy the best quality cottage cheese you can find; the difference between good and mediocre is noticeable and worth it here.
  • If honey is hard to drizzle from the bottle, warm the jar briefly under hot water and it'll flow like you mean it.
