Instructions
1. 1. Combine cottage cheese, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract (if using) in a small bowl. Stir until well combined.
2. 2. Gently fold in the fresh raspberries. Be careful not to mash them completely; you want some whole berries.

4. 4. Add any desired toppings like granola or nuts. Serve immediately, or chill for later enjoyment.
Notes
PRO TIPS FOR SUCCESS:
– Always use fresh, ripe raspberries for optimal flavor and sweetness.
– If your cottage cheese is very thick, a tiny splash of milk or cream can loosen it.
– Chill your Raspberry Cottage Cheese Cups for at least 30 minutes before serving; this enhances the flavors and texture.
– Prepare a batch of these protein-rich Raspberry Cottage Cheese Cups for easy grab-and-go breakfasts throughout the week.
STORAGE & REHEATING TIPS:
– Cover individual cups tightly with plastic wrap or transfer them to airtight containers.
– Store in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
– Do not reheat them; they taste best chilled. This makes them perfect for meal prepping.
