Method
Thaw the berries for 5–7 minutes at room temperature or transfer them to the refrigerator ahead of time.
Coarsely chop the almonds3 with a knife.
Spoon the cottage1 cheese into a bowl and mash it with a fork until softer in texture.
Add the berries and honey and gently stir so some of the berries stay whole.
Sprinkle with the almonds3 and serve immediately.
Tips
- Why it works
- Thaw the berries for 5 to 7 minutes so they release a little juice but don't turn the cottage cheese into a liquid mass.
- Substitutions
- Swap the 15 g of almonds for walnuts or seeds. Swap the 8 g of honey for 1 tsp of sugar.
- Common mistakes
- A common mistake is adding the berries still icy. After 5 minutes the cottage cheese turns watery and a puddle of juice forms around it.
- Storing and reheating
- Keep the mixed cottage cheese in the fridge for up to 1 day, without reheating. Add the almonds just before eating so they don't go soft.
- Serve with
- Serve as a quick snack after school, after a workout, or with tea in the afternoon.
In short
- Marked healthy: the planner picks it more often for the goals “lose weight” and “eat well”.
