GERD Friendly Pear & Cottage Cheese Fruit Cups
Sweet, creamy, and refreshing, these fruit cups come together in minutes and make a genuinely satisfying snack or light meal for two. The low-fat cottage cheese forms a cool, protein-rich base that sits gently on the stomach — exactly what you want when you're managing reflux and need something filling without the heaviness. Ripe pear, banana, and cantaloupe are all gentle, low-acid fruits that bring natural sweetness without the burn that citrus or pineapple can trigger. A tiny drizzle of honey and a whisper of ground ginger tie everything together beautifully, and ginger has long been recognized as a stomach-soothing ingredient. Optional fresh mint adds a bright, clean finish if you're in the mood for it. No cooking, no heat, no complicated steps — just a bowl, a spoon, and about five minutes of prep.
