Create a creamy and on-the-go snack by combining protein-packed cottage cheese with sweet chopped peaches. When peaches are out of season, opt for frozen or experiment with an alternative such as chopped strawberries or orange segments. Elevate the flavor profile by adding a hint of vanilla extract or cinnamon to the cottage cheese. For those with a sweet tooth, a drizzle of honey or maple syrup is the perfect finishing touch.
Prep/Cook Time: 10 Minutes, Servings: 1
Ingredients
- ½ cup low-fat, no-salt-added cottage cheese
- ½ cup diced peaches, fresh or thawed if frozen
- 2 tablespoons chopped pecans
Directions
- Place cottage cheese in a 16-ounce jar (or other resealable container). Top with peaches and pecans. Cover and refrigerate for up to 1 day.
