cottage cheese and fruit

Caprese salad is one of my favorites, but on a regular bases it can interfere with my wellness goals as the delicious mozzarella ball can add quite a few calories. Cottage cheese is not only lower fat (and therefore fewer calories) but it is higher in protein.

Cottage cheese pairs well with tomatoes , or peaches.

I still make sure to enjoy a traditional caprese salad from time to time.
