Notes

You can swap in canned peaches (drained) or frozen peaches., Blending cottage cheese makes it creamier., This recipe doubles well for meal prep., Store sliced peaches in lemon water to prevent browning, keep granola separate to maintain crunch., Freeze peaches separately, not the assembled bowl., Reheat peaches gently and serve warm peaches over cold cottage cheese for best texture.
