Pro Tips

  • ✓If you dislike the texture of cottage cheese, blend it until smooth for a cream-cheese-like consistency.
  • ✓Frozen berries thawed in the microwave for 30 seconds work perfectly and are often more affordable.
  • ✓Add a tablespoon of ground flaxseed for omega-3s and extra fiber.
  • ✓This snack doubles as an excellent pre-bed protein source due to the casein protein in cottage cheese.
