Aymara Lucero, known as The Concerned Cook, shared a delightful and healthy recipe for a Cottage Cheese Blueberry Parfait during her feature on Inside South Florida. Cottage cheese, currently a trending ingredient, takes center stage in this high-protein parfait, offering a healthy and versatile option for various meals.
"Cottage cheese is healthy; it's high in protein, and this one is low fat. So, it's a great snack to make something like a parfait, which is perfect for breakfast, brunch, and afternoon snacks," recommends Aymara.
The recipe incorporates frozen fruits, providing not only a convenient way to reduce food waste but also delivering a refreshing and nutritious twist to the dessert. Aymara specifically recommends berries like blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, or blackberries. These berries, rich in antioxidants, contribute to boosting the immune system and promoting overall health.
To assemble the parfait, layer the cottage cheese with the chosen frozen berries, creating a visually appealing and delicious treat. Aymara adds a final touch by topping the parfait with nuts, enhancing both texture and flavor.
