One of my Favorite Snacks!

cottage cheese + apples + granola bunches

I know, I know — COTTAGE CHEESE!  Most people automatically assume cottage cheese is gross because it’s chunky and curd-like (haha!). I will agree that it doesn’t look appetizing, but I love snacking on this stuff!  I won’t eat it alone, but it is quite delicious if you pair it with the right compliments.

Cottage cheese is very healthy; it’s low in fat and carbs, but packed with protein and calcium!

What you need:

  • 1 apple  (use a sweet apple like Fuji or Golden Delicious; avoid sour green apples
  • 1 cup of cottage cheese (I use non or low-fat, but 2% will taste better
  • 1/4 cup of granola (I use Just Bunches, but any granola will do)

Preparation:

  1. Peel the apple (optional)
  2. Dice up the apple
  3. Scoop some cottage cheese on top of your diced apples
  4. Pour some granola on top of the cottage cheese and apples
  5. Eat & enjoy!
mmMmm, omnomnom!
Of course if you’re a cottage cheese virgin, you may want to begin by using less cottage cheese and more of the tasty apple and/or granola.  Tailor it to your satisfaction!
Cottage cheese is also very omnomnom with peanut butter.
Give it a try ;]
