Cottage cheese helps to create a creamy texture while adding a boost of protein to keep you full longer. Blueberries provide natural sweetness and antioxidants, making this a great make-ahead breakfast or snack for busy mornings.
The best part? It only takes a few minutes to mix together before baking, and it stores well for several days — perfect for meal prep.
