Strawberry Basil Cottage Cheese Bowl Recipe

This Strawberry Basil Cottage Cheese Bowl is the quintessential influencer plate. After waking up in your heart-shaped hyperbaric chamber, you take a cold plunge in the 24/7 ice bath located in the foyer to your master bathroom. Then you do a 30-minute mindfulness meditation in the third-story room decorated in synthetic replica of your favorite tropical rainforest. Now you’re finally ready to make breakfast. You descend a spiral glass staircase and glide to your kitchen island where all the ingredients are already waiting for you. Every slice, every swirl, every dash, every spoonful is a masterclass in gracefulness. Every bite is a revelation. Then you let out a long, bassy, pitch-shifting fart that you’ll have to remember to edit out before you hit POST.
