Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cottage cheese full-fat or low-fat
  • 0.25 cup fresh berries strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries
  • 0.25 cup nuts sliced almonds or chopped walnuts
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 small banana sliced
  • 1 pinch cinnamon optional
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice optional, for brightness

Equipment

  • Medium bowl
  • Spoon
  • Knife
  • Chopping board
  • Small skillet

Method
 

  1. Place the cottage cheese into a medium bowl, using a spoon to spread it out into an even layer.
  2. Chop fresh berries and thinly slice the banana, then sprinkle them evenly over the cottage cheese for vibrant color and sweetness.
  3. In a small skillet over medium heat, toast the sliced nuts for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and golden, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
  4. Sprinkle the toasted nuts over the fruit and cottage cheese, adding a satisfying crunch to every bite.
  5. Drizzle honey over the toppings, starting with a teaspoon, and add a pinch of cinnamon for warmth and aroma.
  6. If desired, squeeze a small amount of lemon juice over the bowl to brighten the flavors and add a subtle tang.
  7. Gently stir the toppings into the cottage cheese if you prefer a mixed bite, or leave it layered for a colorful presentation.
  8. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh, creamy, and crunchy textures, or refrigerate briefly if you want it chilled.
