Notes

Feel free to experiment with different fruits, depending on what's in season or on sale. Try adding a variety of textures with nuts or seeds, and consider incorporating spices for unique flavors. Prepare ahead of time by keeping fruit and cottage cheese in separate containers to maintain freshness. Fresh fruit lasts about a week in the fridge, while mixed cottage cheese and fruit should be consumed within 24 hours to avoid sogginess. If you're short on time, frozen fruits can be used; they can enhance the flavor when thawed and mixed.
