Ingredients
  

1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat, as preferred)

1/2 cup mixed fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)

1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)

2 tablespoons sliced almonds or walnuts (for crunch)

A pinch of cinnamon (optional)

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Berries: Rinse the fresh berries under cold water. If using strawberries, hull and slice them into smaller pieces for easier eating. Combine all the berries in a bowl and set aside.

    Assemble the Base: In a serving bowl, add the cottage cheese as the base. You can use either a single serving dish or divide it into two smaller bowls for sharing.

      Add Sweetness: Drizzle the honey or maple syrup over the cottage cheese. Use a spoon to gently mix it in, ensuring the cheese is slightly sweetened.

        Mix in Extras: Sprinkle the chia seeds over the cottage cheese for added nutrition and texture. Stir lightly if you're using them for an even mix.

          Layer the Berries: Gently spoon the mixed berries on top of the cottage cheese, creating a colorful and appetizing layer. Feel free to reserve a few berries for garnish.

            Add Crunch: Sprinkle the sliced almonds or walnuts over the berry layer for a delightful crunch factor.

              Finish with Flavor: If desired, add a pinch of cinnamon for a warming flavor and aroma across the bowl.

                Garnish: Top the bowl with reserved berries and a few fresh mint leaves for a vibrant and fresh touch.

                  Serve: Enjoy your Berry Bliss Cottage Cheese Bowl immediately as a nutritious breakfast, snack, or dessert!
