Snack Attack: Creamy Cottage Cheese Avocado
I'm always looking for quick and easy snacks that taste good. After telling you about my salty avocado snack idea, Sugar user The New Black made this snack suggestion. Since I love avocados ever so much, this sounded really delish.

To learn this simple recipe, read more.
- Cut an avocado in half. Use the side without the pit, and save the other half for later since the pit can help keep the green flesh from browning.
- Fill the hole with two ounces of lowfat cottage cheese (I like Breakstone's).
- Use a spoon to scoop bites right out of the avocado peel. You don't even need to bother with dirtying a dish.
This easy snack contains:
