Creamy, naturally sweet, and packed with protein, this cottage cheese bowl is one of those unexpectedly perfect meals that hits the spot every time. It takes just minutes to make and keeps you full without weighing you down.

Cottage cheese brings the creamy base and protein, while juicy strawberries and blueberries add natural sweetness. A sprinkle of nuts or granola gives it crunch, and a drizzle of honey ties it all together. It's like a lighter, protein-rich version of a yogurt parfait, but even more satisfying.

Great for breakfast, post-workout, or a midday snack when you want something refreshing and nourishing.
