Ingredients
- Low-fat cottage cheese 1 cup
- Mixed berries 0.5 cup
- Chia seeds 1 tablespoon
Method
-
Prepare the berries.
Wash the strawberries and blueberries thoroughly under cold running water. If strawberries are large, cut them into halves or quarters to match the size of blueberries.
Tip: Dry the berries gently with a paper towel to avoid adding extra moisture. -
Assemble the cottage cheese.
Spoon 1 cup of low-fat cottage cheese into a serving bowl or dish. Spread it evenly to create a smooth base.
Tip: If you prefer a creamier texture, you can stir the cottage cheese gently before serving. -
Add the berries.
Scatter the prepared mixed berries evenly over the cottage cheese. This adds natural sweetness and vibrant color.
Tip: Feel free to gently press some berries into the cottage cheese for better integration. -
Sprinkle chia seeds.
Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of chia seeds over the top of the berries and cottage cheese. This will add a slight crunch and boost fiber content.
Tip: If you want the chia seeds to soften slightly, let the dish sit for 5-10 minutes before eating.
Pro tips
- Use fresh berries when possible for the best flavor and texture.
- If you want extra sweetness, drizzle a small amount of honey or maple syrup over the top.
