Cottage Cheese Fruit Salad
If you love fruit salad, but not the blood sugar spike and crash that comes with it, I've got a hack for you. Pairing high-protein cottage cheese will balance your meal, and the combination of sun-sweetened stone fruit with creamy, rich dairy creates a match made in heaven.
Servings: 1
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese or ricotta
- 10 cherries pitted
- 5 yellow plums pitted
- 1 small peach pitted
- ½ lime juiced

Instructions
- Spread the cottage cheese onto a plate and set aside.
