Description
A bright, creamy breakfast or snack that balances tangy cottage cheese, sweet pineapple, and crunchy granola.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
- 1/2 cup granola
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
- Mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Spoon 1 cup of chilled cottage cheese into a medium bowl. If you prefer a smoother texture, stir briefly to loosen the curds.
- Top the cottage cheese evenly with 1/2 cup pineapple chunks. Press them gently into the cottage cheese so juices mingle slightly but the curds remain distinct.
- No cooking needed — this bowl is assembled cold. If using canned pineapple, drain excess syrup first to avoid making the bowl too sweet or watery.
- Sprinkle 1/2 cup granola over the pineapple. Drizzle 1 tablespoon honey if you want extra sweetness. Add 1 tablespoon chia seeds for extra fiber and healthy fats, then garnish with mint leaves. Serve immediately to keep the granola crunchy.
Notes
Best eaten immediately for crunchy granola. Store components separately if needed.
