# Expert Advice:
01 -
- The protein count rivals a chicken breast but tastes like dessert you get to eat at seven in the morning.
- It adapts to whatever is sitting in your fridge or pantry, so it never gets boring even if you eat it every single day.
02 -
- Stir protein powder into the yogurt first before adding any wet toppings, or you will end up chasing clumps around the bowl like I did the first three attempts.
- Letting the bowl rest for two minutes after adding chia seeds creates a thicker, almost pudding like texture that feels completely different and absolutely worth the wait.
03 -
- Full fat yogurt sounds like it would be better, but nonfat Greek yogurt actually gives you the thickest, most scoopable texture when you drain any excess liquid off the top before building.
- Warm your honey for ten seconds in the microwave before drizzling and it will flow in the thinnest, most beautiful ribbons across the entire bowl.
