A nutritious and protein-rich breakfast or snack bowl featuring low-fat cottage cheese, fresh berries, and nuts. This recipe is specifically designed to support muscle building and maintenance while providing essential nutrients through a balanced combination of protein, healthy fats, and fiber.

The high protein content from cottage cheese helps increase metabolic rate and supports muscle recovery, while the antioxidant-rich berries provide essential vitamins and fiber. The addition of nuts contributes healthy fats and adds a satisfying crunch.

This recipe can be easily modified to accommodate different dietary preferences. For a dairy-free version, substitute cottage cheese with dairy-free yogurt alternatives. The berry selection can be adjusted based on seasonal availability or personal preference.
