Ingredients
  

1 cup cottage cheese

1/2 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

1/2 cup fresh raspberries

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup granola (your favorite variety)

1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prep the Base: In a medium-sized bowl, scoop out the cottage cheese using a spatula or a spoon. This creamy base will provide a rich and smooth texture for your dish.

    Flavor It Up: Drizzle 2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup evenly over the cottage cheese, followed by adding 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Use a spoon to stir gently while mixing, ensuring that the sweetness and vanilla are evenly incorporated throughout.

      Add the Berries: Carefully fold in the sliced strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries into the sweetened cottage cheese mixture. Use a spatula to gently combine, taking care to keep the berries whole for added visual appeal.

        Top It Off: Generously sprinkle 1/4 cup of your favorite granola over the berry and cottage cheese mix. This will create a delightful crunchy layer on top, enhancing the texture of each bite.

          Chia Seeds (Optional): If you're adding chia seeds for an extra nutritional boost, sprinkle 1 tablespoon over the granola. These tiny seeds will add an interesting texture and a bit of healthy goodness.

            Garnish: For a finishing touch, arrange a few fresh mint leaves artfully on top of your creation. This garnish not only elevates the dish's presentation but also adds a refreshing burst of color.
