Variations
- Creamier Base
Blend the cottage cheese briefly until smooth before assembling the bowl. This creates a yogurt-like texture without changing the flavor. - Extra Protein Option
Add a spoon of plain Greek yogurt or a sprinkle of hemp seeds to increase protein while keeping the bowl balanced. If you enjoy high-protein options that still feel like a treat, take a look at our High-Protein Desserts Recipes for more nutritious ideas. - Crunch Boost
Lightly toast the nuts before adding them. This enhances flavor and adds contrast to the creamy base. - Meal Prep Version
