Thursday's Side Dish: Cottage Cheese, Granola, and Fruit

A high-protein breakfast treat without meat
Sausage, eggs, and toast or the usual sugary boxed cereal can get to be too routine. What else is there for breakfast? Make a yummy and healthy change with cottage cheese, granola, and fresh fruit. The crunch of granola combines with the creamy texture and flavor of cottage cheese. Add your favorite fresh fruits to naturally sweeten things up. We used chopped strawberries to do just that. It’s a wonderful trinity for the taste buds. There are additional options -- for example, instead of fresh fruit, try craisins, chopped dried apricots or drained, canned fruits. Protein and calcium from cottage cheese is a bonus when combined with the high fiber of granola.
