Savory Cottage Cheese Bowl

To help you get the benefits of mood-supporting amino acids in dairy foods, I thought I’d share a savory cottage cheese bowl that is a great option for a balanced meal or a snack!

The tryptophan in cottage cheese can help promote relaxation with the combination of protein, fiber, and healthy fats, making this a great snack to enjoy in the evening if you’re looking for a nutritious option before bed.
