Prepare the ingredients.
Measure out 1 cup of low-fat cottage cheese and 1/2 cup of pineapple chunks. If using canned pineapple, drain the juice to avoid extra liquid in the dish.
Tip: Use fresh pineapple for the best flavor and texture, but canned pineapple in juice is a convenient alternative. -
Combine cottage cheese and pineapple.
In a medium bowl, gently mix the cottage cheese and pineapple chunks together until evenly combined.
Tip: Mix gently to keep the pineapple chunks intact and maintain a nice texture. -
Serve and enjoy.
Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl or plate. You can enjoy it immediately or chill it in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes if you prefer it cold.
Tip: For an extra touch, sprinkle a little cinnamon or chopped fresh mint on top before serving.
Pro tips
- Use low-fat cottage cheese to keep the dish light but high in protein.
- If you want a sweeter taste, add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup, but keep in mind this will increase the calories.
