Instructions:

- In a small bowl, combine the slightly thawed blueberries with 1 tablespoon of maple syrup. Stir gently to coat the blueberries evenly. Set aside to let the flavors meld together.
- In a separate bowl, mix 1/2 cup of low-fat cottage cheese with 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir well until the vanilla is fully incorporated, adding a subtle and pleasant aroma to the cottage cheese.
- Take a serving glass or bowl and start by adding a layer of the vanilla-infused cottage cheese at the bottom.
- Spoon a layer of the blueberry maple mixture over the cottage cheese.
- Repeat the layers if you have more of the mixtures left, finishing with the blueberry maple mixture on top.

Tips:
- For a smoother texture, use a blender to mix the cottage cheese with the vanilla extract before assembling the parfait.
- You can fresh blueberries instead of frozen if they are in season; just make sure to wash them thoroughly.
- Layer granola or crushed nuts between the blueberry mixture and cottage cheese for an added crunch.
- Add a dollop of Greek yogurt to increase the creaminess and protein content.
- Adjust the amount of maple syrup according to your sweetness preference.
