Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cottage cheese preferably full-fat for creaminess
  • ½ cup fresh berries strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries
  • 1 tbsp honey adjust to taste
  • 2 tbsp mixed nuts such as almonds, walnuts, or cashews, toasted lightly

  1. Scoop the cottage cheese into a small mixing bowl, smoothing the top with the back of your spoon to create a flat surface.

  3. Drizzle honey over the toppings, allowing it to subtly seep into the cheese and berries, adding sweetness and gloss.
  4. Chop the toasted nuts roughly and sprinkle them evenly across the bowl for a crunchy contrast.
  5. Finish by grating lemon zest over the entire bowl to add a fresh, zesty note that brightens the flavors.
  6. Gently serve immediately, enjoying the creamy, tangy base topped with vibrant fruit and crunchy nuts for a balanced, satisfying snack.
