Ingredients

• 3/4 cup cottage cheese
• 1 1/2 tablespoons Marcona almonds
• 1 tablespoon currants

Recipe Notes

• I used Marcona almonds, but you could use regular almonds, too. If you prefer a different type of nut, such as walnuts, go for it. 

• If you'd like your snack sweeter, add a bit more currants. You could swap the currants for raisins or dried cranberries, if you like. 

• Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Here's how to make it:

1. In a small bowl, add the cottage cheese. 
2. Top it with the almonds and currants. Serve immediately.
