Ricotta Cheese Snack

I have always loved cheese. Especially Ricotta cheese. I actually regularly tell people that cheese is something I will not cut out of my diet unless there’s a dietary necessity to cutting it out.

Luckily I’m not lactose intolerant so the cheese stays. Which is great on those days when I need a quick snack that’s delicious and has a little bit of sweetness to it but is still healthy.

Ricotta cheese took the place of yogurt for me in this sort of parfait one day…because it was all I had in my fridge. I came to absolutely love it as a substitute for yogurt because of it’s creaminess and how it pairs well with so many other flavors.

I have done it as a toast with tomatoes and salt and pepper, but my go to favorite is parfait style with strawberries, almonds and honey. It’s the perfect afternoon pick me up!
