Creating a Cottage Cheese Berry Bowl is a simple and enjoyable process. Follow these steps to whip up your flavorful bowl:

1. Prep the Berries: Rinse your mixed berries under cold water and pat them dry using a paper towel.
2. Add Cottage Cheese: Scoop 1 cup of cottage cheese into a bowl or jar. Make sure to use a bowl that allows for mixing.
3. Layer in Berries: Gently add the mixed berries on top of the cottage cheese, organizing them to create an attractive presentation.
4. Drizzle Sweetener: If desired, drizzle honey or maple syrup over the berries and cottage cheese for an added touch of sweetness.
5. Sprinkle Nuts: Add in your choice of chopped nuts. This adds a nice crunch and extra protein to the bowl.
6. Chia Seeds Optional: If you’re using chia seeds, sprinkle them on top for an extra health boost.
7. Garnish: Finish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and freshness.
8. Enjoy: Grab a spoon and dig in! Mix it all together to combine flavors or enjoy the layers individually.

This simple approach ensures that each bite is packed with delightful flavors and textures.
