# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • You get all the warm spiced comfort of carrot cake without turning on the oven or waiting an hour for something to bake
  • The protein from Greek yogurt keeps you satisfied straight through until lunch which is rare for something that tastes this indulgent
02 -
  • The longer this sits in the refrigerator the more the spices bloom and intensify so making it the night before is actually a brilliant move
  • If you are using regular granola instead of gluten free make sure to check the label because some brands contain wheat
03 -
  • Grate your carrots against the finest side of your box grater because larger pieces can feel overwhelming in each spoonful
  • Let the bowl sit for five minutes after assembling to let the raisins soften slightly and release their natural sweetness
