Chef's Note
Blending the cottage cheese creates a smooth, creamy texture similar to Greek yogurt but with a different flavor profile. The chia seeds add omega-3 fatty acids and fiber without providing any crunch when they're stirred into the moisture of the dish. For meal prep, you can prepare several portions of the whipped cottage cheese base and store in individual containers, adding the berries just before serving.
