Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese If your cottage cheese is a bit lumpy for your preference, you can give it a quick stir with a fork to smooth it out.
  • 1/2 cup mixed berries fresh or frozen: strawberries, blueberries, raspberries
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon chopped walnuts or almonds
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup optional, for added sweetness
  • Pinch cinnamon

Equipment

  • Small Bowl
  • Fork

Method
 

  1. Spoon the 1 cup of low-fat cottage cheese into a small bowl. If your cottage cheese is a bit lumpy for your preference, you can give it a quick stir with a fork to smooth it out.

  2. Gently add the 1/2 cup of mixed berries over the cottage cheese. If you're using frozen berries, they will slightly thaw and create a refreshing, cool sensation, similar to a mini sorbet.

  3. Sprinkle the 1 tablespoon of chia seeds over the berries and cottage cheese. These tiny powerhouses will absorb some moisture and add a delightful texture.

  5. If you prefer a sweeter treat, drizzle 1 teaspoon of honey or maple syrup over the bowl. This also helps to meld the flavors together beautifully.
