- 1 tbsp nuts or seeds (almonds, walnuts, chia, or flax)

- Top with blueberries.
- Drizzle honey or maple syrup if desired.

Optional Add-ins & Variations
- Granola for a crunchy texture.
- Sliced banana or strawberries for extra fruit.

💡 Tips:
- For creamier texture, mix cottage cheese with a splash of milk or yogurt.
- Frozen blueberries can be used; they defrost quickly or can be eaten straight for a cold, refreshing bowl.
- This breakfast is high in protein (good for muscle maintenance) and antioxidants from the blueberries.
