# Top Tips:

01 -
  • Its the kind of breakfast that makes you feel like you have your life together, even when you definitely dont
  • The raspberry layer cuts through the richness and makes everything taste like summer morning
02 -
  • The first time I skipped the second whisk, I ended up with a weird clumpy situation, so dont skip that step
  • Frozen raspberries release more water than fresh, so you might want to mash them less
03 -
  • Use wide mouth jars for easier layering and eating
  • These keep for about 5 days in the fridge, if you can resist eating them all immediately
