# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • You get all the cozy spices and sweet satisfaction of carrot cake without turning on the oven or dirtying multiple mixing bowls
  • The grated carrot softens slightly in the creamy yogurt creating this incredible texture that keeps you interested spoonful after spoonful
02 -
  • Grate your carrots right before assembling because they start to weep water and make the yogurt soggy if they sit too long
  • The flavors actually improve after sitting for 30 minutes so meal prep these the night before for an incredible breakfast
03 -
  • Use full-fat Greek yogurt if you want this to taste truly indulgent because the fat carries all those warm spices so much better
  • Toast your nuts and coconut in a dry pan for just 2-3 minutes and the whole bowl transforms into something restaurant-worthy
