Notes
Helpful Tips
- Ripe bananas: Choose bananas that are ripe but still firm for the best flavor and texture. Overripe bananas may be too mushy but we also want to make sure they’re ripe enough to be sweet.
- Blend cottage cheese: If you prefer a smoother texture, blend the cottage cheese for a few seconds to make it extra creamy.
- Experiment with toppings: Try different fruits, shredded coconut, or even chia seeds for extra nutrition.
- Prep fruits: If you’re opting for fresh fruit, you can pre-cut your strawberries (or fruit of choice) and store them separately, then assemble quickly when ready to eat.
