Ingredients
- Low-fat cottage cheese 1 cup cup
- Fresh peach 1 medium
- Chopped walnuts 1/4 cup
Method
-
Prepare the peaches.
Wash the fresh peach under cool running water. Pat it dry with a clean towel. Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the peach into thin wedges or bite-sized pieces, removing the pit.
Tip: If the peach is very ripe, handle gently to avoid mushy slices. -
Measure the cottage cheese.
Scoop 1 cup (about 240 grams) of low-fat cottage cheese into a serving bowl. This provides a creamy base rich in protein.
Tip: Use a measuring cup for accuracy. -
Add walnuts.
Measure approximately 1/4 cup (30 grams) of chopped walnuts and sprinkle them evenly over the cottage cheese. Walnuts add a satisfying crunch and healthy fats.
Tip: Chop walnuts finely if you prefer smaller pieces for easier eating. -
Combine and serve.
Arrange the sliced peaches on top or around the cottage cheese and walnuts. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors and textures.
Tip: For extra flavor, you can add a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of cinnamon, but note this will change nutrition.
Pro tips
- Use ripe but firm peaches to ensure easy slicing and pleasant texture.
- Toast walnuts lightly in a dry pan for 2-3 minutes to enhance their flavor before adding.
