Ingredients
- 2 cups Low sodium cottage cheese
- 0.5 cup Dried cranberries
- 0.25 cup Fresh orange juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Chopped walnuts (optional)
- 2 leaves Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, mix the dried cranberries with the fresh orange juice. Let them soak for about 5 minutes to rehydrate slightly and absorb the citrus flavor.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the low sodium cottage cheese, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir well to ensure the honey and vanilla are evenly distributed throughout the cottage cheese.
Step 3
Drain the excess orange juice from the cranberries and gently fold them into the cottage cheese mixture. If you like, keep a few cranberries aside for garnish.
Step 4
Transfer portions into serving bowls. If using, sprinkle chopped walnuts on top and garnish with a few cranberries and fresh mint leaves.
Step 5
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours to enjoy it chilled. This can be a great snack or breakfast option.
