A simple and satisfying snack or light meal that pairs the creaminess of cottage cheese with flavorful accents. Start with a generous serving of low-fat or full-fat cottage cheese, offering a rich source of protein and a creamy base.
Sprinkle in a half teaspoon of everything but the bagel seasoning, adding a delightful medley of savory flavors and textures. Enhance the experience by including 1-2 tablespoons of hummus, providing a velvety and savory complement to the cottage cheese.
For a fresh and crisp element, add your favorite dippables such as cucumber slices or carrot sticks. Elevate the crunch factor with a serving of your preferred crackers—Mary’s or wasa work wonders, creating a perfect balance between creamy, savory, and crispy. The Savory Cottage Cheese Bowl is a quick and tasty option for those moments when you crave a wholesome and satisfying snack.

Notes: Another flavor swap addition is salsa and nuts, adds more fiber. With all these full-fat or low-fat yogurt and cottage cheese both work great. Just tweak adding other fats if using the full fat. Also, if choosing full-fat dairy try to buy organic when you can. If using low-fat, conventional works fine.
