  • ½ peach sliced (or any seasonal fruit like berries)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flaxseeds

  • 1 tablespoon toasted coconut flakes

Layer the fruit.

Sweeten it up.

Customize (optional).
  1. Sprinkle cinnamon, add a spoonful of nut butter, or top with avocado for extra flavor.

Notes

  • Full-fat cottage cheese gives a creamier texture and more flavor.
  • For a meal-prep version, keep the fruit and granola separate until serving.
  • Swap the peach for apple slices and cinnamon for a cozy fall twist.
  • This recipe works great after workouts or as a quick high-protein snack between meals.
