A Quick Snack Food Favorite

One of my favorite snacks: cottage cheese + apples + granola bunches

I know, I know � COTTAGE CHEESE!  Most people automatically assume cottage cheese is gross because it�s chunky and curd-like (haha!). I will agree that it doesn�t look appetizing, but I love snacking on this stuff!  I won�t eat it alone, but it is quite delicious if you pair it with the right compliments.

Cottage cheese is very healthy; it�s low in fat and carbs, but packed with protein and calcium!

What you need:

• 1 apple  (use a sweet apple like Fuji or Golden Delicious; avoid sour green apples
• 1 cup of cottage cheese (I use non or low-fat, but 2% will taste better
• 1/4 cup of granola (I use Just Bunches, but any granola will do)

Preparation:

 * Peel (optional) & dice the apple  * Scoop some cottage cheese on top of your diced apples * Sprinkle some granola on top of the cottage cheese and apples * Eat & enjoy!

Of course if you�re a cottage cheese virgin, you may want to begin by using less cottage cheese and more of the tasty apple and/or granola.  Tailor it to your satisfaction!
Cottage cheese is also very omnomnom with peanut butter.

Give it a try ;]
