# Top Tips:

01 -
  • It's ready in literally two minutes, no cooking required, just shake and eat.
  • The salt and umami from the everything bagel blend somehow make cucumber taste like the most luxurious snack you've ever had.
  • It's so low in calories and refreshing you can eat an entire bowl without guilt.
02 -
  • Cold cucumber is non-negotiable—this is not the place to experiment with room temperature produce.
  • Shake hard enough to actually coat everything, but not so hard that you bruise the cucumber; find that sweet middle spot.
03 -
  • Keep a jar of this pre-prepped in your fridge and just grab a handful whenever you need a snack—it stays good for about 30 minutes before it starts losing its crunch.
  • The real secret is not shaking halfheartedly; commit to that vigorous shake and every piece gets evenly coated.
