Ingredients
  

  • ¾ cup low-fat cottage cheese
  • 1 medium apple diced
  • 1 tablespoon natural peanut butter
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon honey optional
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds optional

Instructions
 

  • Wash the apple thoroughly under cool running water and pat it dry with a clean kitchen towel.
  • Cut the apple into small bite-sized cubes, removing the core and seeds while leaving the skin on for additional fiber and nutrients.
  • Place ¾ cup of low-fat cottage cheese into a serving bowl and spread it evenly across the bottom.
  • Scatter the diced apple pieces evenly over the cottage cheese so every spoonful includes both fruit and protein.
  • Measure 1 tablespoon of natural peanut butter and drizzle it over the apples and cottage cheese. If needed, warm the peanut butter for a few seconds to make drizzling easier.
  • Sprinkle the ground cinnamon evenly across the entire bowl to enhance flavor and natural sweetness.
  • If using honey, drizzle it lightly over the top for additional sweetness.
  • If desired, sprinkle chia seeds over the bowl to increase fiber, texture, and nutritional value.
  • Gently stir the ingredients together or leave them layered for a more attractive presentation.
  • Serve immediately while the apples are crisp and fresh, or chill for a few minutes before serving if you prefer a colder snack.
  • Enjoy as a high-protein breakfast, post-workout snack, healthy dessert, or satisfying afternoon treat.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 24 hours for the best texture and flavor.
