Instructions:
1. Begin by rinsing the green grapes thoroughly under cold water. Pat them dry with a paper towel before slicing them in half to release their natural sweetness.
2. In a medium-sized bowl, add the low-fat cottage cheese. This will serve as a protein-rich base for your dish.
3. Once the grapes are sliced, add them to the bowl with the cottage cheese. Gently fold the grapes into the cheese to ensure even distribution.
4. On top of the cottage cheese and grapes, drizzle the unsweetened almond butter. This adds healthy fats and enhances the flavor profile of the dish.
5. Sprinkle the chia seeds over the mixture. Chia seeds are rich in fiber and will help keep you feeling full longer.
6. Finally, add the ground cinnamon and a pinch of salt to enhance and balance the flavors. Stir everything together gently until well combined.
7. Serve immediately and enjoy this nutritious and satisfying breakfast that supports a healthy lifestyle.
