- Take a serving glass or bowl and start by adding a layer of the vanilla-infused cottage cheese at the bottom.

- 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.
