Cottage cheese is a soft, spreadable cheese made from cow's milk. It is a good source of protein, calcium, and vitamin B12. Cottage cheese can be eaten on its own or used in a variety of dishes. One popular way to enjoy cottage cheese is to mix it with fruit. Two fruits that pair particularly well with cottage cheese are bananas and blueberries. The sweetness of the fruit balances out the tanginess of the cheese, and the combination of flavors is simply delicious.

COTTAGE CHEESE WITH BANANA AND BLUEBERRIES
One of my favorite snacks growing up in southern California with plump berries from Portland, OR. Now that I'm in Norway and surrounded by free-for-all blueberry bushes, I can't wait until the blueberries become ripe and ready in August, so I can start enjoying this simple treat again. I don't add honey when I make it for myself. Feel free proportions to adjust to your own cottage cheese to fruit ratio preferences. :)

BANANA-OAT COTTAGE CHEESE PANCAKES
I combined a few gluten-free recipes to make these pancakes. They are super-high in protein and sweet enough to eat without any toppings, though I usually chop some strawberries or blueberries to top them! Feel free to add chopped fruit, syrup, or whipped cream to top your pancakes!
