Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese and Greek yogurt. Mix until smooth and well blended.

  3. Gently fold in the chopped fresh strawberries, being careful not to overmix.
  4. Refrigerate the mixture for about 30 minutes to firm it up.

Notes

For flavor variations, try using almond or lemon extracts. You can also add chia seeds or flaxseeds for extra nutrition. If a smoother texture is preferred, pulse the rolled oats in a blender before mixing.
