Ingredients
- Low-fat cottage cheese 1 cup
- Pineapple chunks 1 cup
Method
-
Prepare the pineapple.
If using fresh pineapple, peel and core it, then cut into bite-sized chunks. If using canned pineapple, drain the juice well to avoid excess liquid in the dish.
Tip: Draining canned pineapple well prevents the cottage cheese from becoming watery. -
Measure the cottage cheese.
Scoop 1 cup (about 210 grams) of low-fat cottage cheese into a serving bowl. Use a spoon or a measuring cup for accuracy.
Tip: Use low-fat cottage cheese for a creamy texture with fewer calories. -
Combine pineapple and cottage cheese.
Add the pineapple chunks on top of the cottage cheese or gently fold them together using a spoon to combine evenly.
Tip: Gently mixing preserves the texture of the pineapple chunks. -
Serve immediately.
Enjoy your cottage cheese with pineapple chunks fresh for the best taste and texture. Optionally, chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes if you prefer a cooler snack.
Tip: Chilling enhances the refreshing flavor, especially on warm days.
Pro tips
- Use fresh pineapple for a more vibrant flavor and texture.
- If you want extra sweetness, drizzle a little honey on top before serving.
