Cottage Cheese Banana and Coconut Parfaits

Cottage Cheese Banana and Coconut Parfait

It’s been so hot lately that a no-cook meal or snack is a really awesome thing to have on hand. And one that includes mini chocolate chips and coconut? Yes, that’s a really good idea, too. Including a good dose of protein, healthy fats and carbs, this is a great way to start the day. The chocolate chips are just an added treat. 😉

All cottage cheeses on the market are not created equal. I’ve tried a few, and believe me there is a big difference. The tastiest one I’ve tried is from Kalona Supernaturals. Actually, I like all of the products I’ve tried from them. Their products come from grass-fed cows, are non-homogenized and USDA certified organic. No, they didn’t pay me to say that. I just really love their products. They have a full fat version and a 2% one. I prefer the full fat one, but the 2% is also really good. I  usually alternate between the two.

A runner-up for me would be Nancy’s cottage cheese. They sell a non-organic and an organic one.

I had some macadamia nuts leftover from another recipe, so I used those on mine. I think slivered almonds would actually have been a better choice, but you use what you have on hand.
