Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cottage cheese
- 0.5 cup Fresh strawberries
- 0.5 cup Fresh blueberries
- 0.5 cup Fresh raspberries
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Chopped nuts (optional)
- 4 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional)
Instructions
Start by washing the fresh strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries under cold running water. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Hull the strawberries and slice them into halves or quarters, depending on size. Set the berries aside.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the cottage cheese and vanilla extract. Stir well to ensure the vanilla is evenly distributed throughout the cottage cheese.
Divide the vanilla-infused cottage cheese equally into two serving bowls.
Top each bowl of cottage cheese with equal portions of the mixed fresh strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries.
If desired, sprinkle each serving with a tablespoon of chopped nuts for added crunch and healthy fats.
Garnish each bowl with a couple of fresh mint leaves for a touch of color and aroma. The mint is optional but adds a refreshing flavor.
Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors and textures. This dish can be enjoyed as a quick breakfast, a healthy snack, or even a light dessert.
