Notes
Choose a brand of cottage cheese you enjoy eating plain to ensure the best flavor.
Toast nuts briefly in a dry pan to release natural oils and enhance the crunch.
If meal prepping, keep the wet ingredients (cheese/fruit) and dry ingredients (granola/nuts) separate until ready to eat.
Fresh herbs like basil or dill can be added to savory bowls for a gourmet touch.
Do not freeze the cottage cheese as it will ruin the texture of the curds.
