Notes
- Use full-fat cottage cheese for a creamier taste, or low-fat for a lighter option.
- Choose granola varieties that suit your dietary preferences, such as gluten-free if needed.
- Fresh fruit can be seasonal and varied according to your taste.
- Blending cottage cheese is optional but creates a smoother texture if preferred.
- Nuts, seeds, and nut butter add texture, flavor, and nutritional benefits; adjust according to allergy considerations.
- Serve immediately to prevent granola from getting soggy.
