Tropical Cottage Cheese Parfait #FuelYourFancy #theoriginalsuperfood
Are you meal prepping or looking for easy ways to incorporate more protein in your diet? Maybe you are getting sick of the same old chicken breast and broccoli and need something fun; yet easy to throw into the mix? Besides boiled eggs, one of my favorite and tasty ways to increase my protein intake is by eating cottage cheese. I particularly love the Friendship Dairies brand because it is creamier than the competition, and they have a low salt option.
Seriously you guys, Friendship Dairies cottage cheese is awesome! I buy mine at my local grocer and always look for the pink or red container to spot it easily. It is priced right, and I will even buy a few extra tubs of it for week night meals like meatless stuffed shells. Today’s recipe for an easy Tropical Cottage Cheese Parfait really fuels my fancy because it can serve as a meal or dessert. The combination of fresh and juicy pineapple, dried cranberries, fresh banana and crunchy pistachios pair wonderfully making it an easy, yet tasty choice to fuel your body.
Speaking of fueling my body, have you ever checked out the Superfood Generator app on Friendship Dairies official site?

Doesn’t this Tropical Cottage Cheese Parfait look so tasty? I assure you it can be easily recreated too! The most time-consuming aspect was cutting up the pineapple chunks which can be done ahead of time for the week! Simply layer each component for a fresh snack that even my kids are loving!
Ingredients:
- Friendship Dairies cottage cheese
- Fresh pineapple chunks
- Dried cranberries
- pistachios
Directions:
To make this Tropical Cottage Cheese Parfait, the easiest thing to do would be to prep your ingredients ahead of time. If you plan on making this for the entire week (you just might after you taste it) placing your ingredients (sans banana) in containers will make it easier. I shelled my pistachios ahead of time, and chunked ups my fresh pineapple.
When assembling, start with a layer of pineapple, cranberries, and cottage cheese, and alternate twice. Top with fresh banana and pistachios for a nice crunch!
