  • 1 pinch sea salt (optional)
  • 1 tbsp chopped almonds or walnuts (optional)
  • 1 scoop protein powder (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Add 1/2 cup of cottage cheese to a bowl or jar.
  • Top with 1/3 cup diced pineapple and 1 tbsp chia seeds.
  • Mix gently until well combined.
  • If desired, add a dash of cinnamon, drizzle of honey, or pinch of sea salt.
