Raspberries with Cottage Cheese

I've been eating cottage cheese with some type of fruit once a day since I changed my eating habits almost 2 years ago. You would think I would get sick of cottage cheese, but there are just so many different option to eat cottage cheese with, it hasn't gotten old yet. The other day I had some raspberries in the fridge that needed eaten. Cottage cheese toped with raspberries and drizzled with agave syrup was a low calorie, low fat, carb and protein balanced snack that tastes like a treat. I was reminded of the cottage cheese and apple snack shared last fall by my friend Michelle, check that recipe out as well, it's a great fall eating idea.
