🍓 Make It Your Own

The beauty of these bowls is that you can change them up depending on what you have in the fridge.

Try adding:

• 🍌 Sliced banana
• 🫐 Fresh blueberries
• 🍓 Sliced strawberries
• 🍯 A drizzle of honey
• 🥜 Almond butter or peanut butter
• 🌱 Chia or flax seeds
• 🥥 Shredded coconut
• 🍫 A few dark chocolate chips

💡 Pro Tip

If you're not a fan of the texture of cottage cheese, blend it until smooth before adding the vanilla. It turns into an incredibly creamy, almost cheesecake-like base.

And if you want maximum berry flavor, slightly warm the frozen berries before adding them. They'll release all those beautiful juices that swirl through the cottage cheese.
