FAQs
Can I use frozen berries instead of fresh?
Yes, frozen berries work well but thaw them first and drain any excess liquid to avoid making the bowl watery.
Is this recipe suitable for a vegan diet?
Traditional cottage cheese is dairy-based, so it is not vegan. However, you can substitute with plant-based cottage cheese alternatives to make it vegan-friendly.
