Notes

My #1 Secret Tip for this cottage cheese and fruit bowl is to use very cold cottage cheese and fresh fruit that is fully ripe. When the cottage cheese is chilled and the fruit is sweet and juicy, the textures stay creamy and the flavors stay bright, which makes the whole bowl taste much fresher and more satisfying.
For an extra creamy version: I like to place the cottage cheese in a high speed blender or food processor and blend it until it is smooth before adding my toppings. You can also make whipped cottage cheese with a hand beater, which creates a light and fluffy texture that works well with fresh fruit.
Prep the fruit ahead of time: When I know the morning will be busy, I wash and slice the fruit the night before. I store it in a sealed container so breakfast takes only a few minutes.
Use a larger bowl for kids: My kids enjoy building their own fruit cups, so I use a larger bowl and let them add their favorite toppings. It helps them enjoy the recipe even more.
