FAQ
How many servings does this cottage cheese flax bowl make?
It makes 2 servings. Each serving contains about 1 cup of cottage cheese and 1 tablespoon of flaxseed.
Do I need to use ground flaxseed?

It is best enjoyed immediately. If prepared ahead, cover it, refrigerate it promptly, and follow the cottage cheese package storage guidance.
Is this recipe suitable for a high-protein diet?
Cottage cheese provides protein, but the exact amount depends on the product. Check the nutrition label for precise values.
How much fiber does the bowl contain?
Flaxseed contributes dietary fiber, but the exact amount varies by whether it is whole or ground and by the product. Check the package label.
Can I use low-fat cottage cheese?
Yes. Low-fat, full-fat, or another variety can be used, although the texture and nutrition will vary.
Is this cottage cheese flax bowl gluten-free?
The two listed ingredients are naturally gluten-free. Check product labels for possible cross-contamination if you need to avoid gluten strictly.
