Ingredients
- Low-fat cottage cheese 1/8 cup
- Fresh strawberries 1/8 cup sliced
Method
-
Prepare the strawberries.
Wash the fresh strawberries thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt or residues. Pat them dry gently with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel. Then, slice the strawberries into thin pieces about 1/4 inch thick.
Tip: Use a sharp knife to slice the strawberries evenly for better texture and presentation. -
Measure the cottage cheese.
Using a measuring cup, measure out 1/8 cup (about 60 grams) of low-fat cottage cheese. This smaller portion aligns with the calorie and macro targets.
Tip: Spoon the cottage cheese gently into the measuring cup to avoid compacting it, ensuring an accurate measurement. -
Combine and serve.
In a small bowl, place the measured cottage cheese. Top it evenly with the sliced strawberries. You can gently mix them if you prefer or leave the strawberries on top for a nicer presentation.
Tip: Serve immediately for the freshest taste and texture.
Pro tips
- For extra flavor, add a small drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of cinnamon, but be mindful of added calories.
