Ingredients
  

2 cups cottage cheese (choose between full-fat or low-fat to suit your preference)

1 medium banana, sliced into rounds

1 cup strawberries, hulled (remove the green tops) and halved

1 cup pineapple chunks (use fresh for a tropical taste or canned, just make sure they are well-drained)

½ cup fresh blueberries

¼ cup unsweetened shredded coconut for texture

2 tablespoons honey (adjust according to your desired sweetness)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract for flavor

¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional, but adds warmth)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional, for a vibrant touch)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, honey, vanilla extract, and optional cinnamon. Use a spatula or spoon to mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well blended and creamy.

    Slice and Dice: Rinse all the fruits under cold water. Slice the banana into even, round pieces, hull the strawberries and cut them in half, and if you’re using fresh pineapple, cut it into bite-sized chunks.

      Assemble the Bowls: Take four serving bowls and scoop a generous portion of the cottage cheese mixture into each one, creating a creamy base.

        Add the Fruits: Carefully layer the sliced banana, halved strawberries, pineapple chunks, and fresh blueberries over the cottage cheese in each bowl, creating a colorful and inviting display.

          Sprinkle the Coconut: Generously sprinkle the shredded coconut over the top of each fruit bowl to enhance both texture and flavor.

            Garnish: Finish off each bowl by placing a sprig of fresh mint on top for a pop of color and a refreshing aroma.

              Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately for a nutritious and delicious breakfast, midday snack, or delightful dessert!
