Chef’s Secrets for a Flawless Bowl
- Temperature Mastery: Chill your bowl in the freezer for 5 minutes before assembly to keep the fruit crisp.
- The Granola Barrier: Place granola on top of a strawberry slice rather than directly on yogurt to prevent sogginess.
- Acid Balance: A tiny squeeze of lime juice over the kiwi will heighten the tropical profile and provide a professional flavor pop.
