# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Tastes like dessert but keeps you full for hours thanks to the fiber and protein combo
  • Ready in 15 minutes flat, which is basically faster than waiting in line at a coffee shop
  • The espresso gives you a gentle morning buzz without the jittery crash
02 -
  • The oats keep thickening in the bowl, so if they look a little too loose when you pull them off the heat, trust that theyll be perfect by the time you sit down to eat
  • Pumpkin purée varies by brand—some are thicker than others, so you might need to add a splash more milk if yours looks like paste
03 -
  • Brew your coffee the night before and keep it in the fridge so its ready to go in the morning
  • If your pumpkin pie spice is old, give it a sniff test—spices lose potency after about 6 months and you might need to add more
  • Use a whisk instead of a spoon when stirring to break up any pumpkin clumps
