# Expert tips:
01 -
- You get to eat something that tastes like a luxury chocolate truffle before 8 AM
- The protein keeps you full through those brutal morning meetings
- It takes literally 10 minutes to prep and breakfast handles itself overnight
02 -
- The texture thickens up significantly overnight, so if it looks too liquidy at first, that's completely normal
- Protein powder can clump if you just dump it in, so whisk it with a little milk first or stir really thoroughly
03 -
- Toast your hazelnuts in a dry pan for 3 minutes before chopping them makes a huge difference
- Let the jar sit on the counter for 10 minutes before eating if you can't do cold breakfast
