Fruit and Cottage Cheese

So I tried those pre-made fruit and cottage cheese snacks in the yogurt aisle. I think they were about 4 points and loaded with sugar and really not that satisfying. But I really love fruit and cottage cheese so I decided to make my own pre-made snacks that I could grab in the morning and throw in my bag for a mid morning snack. I picked up some 2% cottage cheese, the Great Value brand from Wal-Mart, as well as some no sugar added fruit cups. I opted for peaches and pineapple because those are my faves for cottage cheese. I checked the points on the cottage cheese before I bought it and it's 2 points for 1/2 cup. I honestly could eat more than half a cup but that's why I weigh what I weigh! With the new PP in WW all fruit is 0 points. Even fruit cups as long as it's in its own juices and you drain the juice before you eat it. Once I added the fruit to the 1/2c serving it actually looks like more than what it really is. I am excited to have a 2pt snack that looks fresher and yummier than the ones in the yogurt aisle!
