Description

This high-protein cottage cheese breakfast bowl is a perfect way to start your day. Packed with protein, calcium, and essential nutrients, it keeps you full and energized. Plus, it’s super easy to customize with your favorite fruits, nuts, and toppings!


Ingredients

1 cup low-fat cottage cheese

½ cup fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)

1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional)

2 tbsp granola or crushed nuts (almonds, walnuts)

1 tbsp chia seeds or flaxseeds (for extra fiber and omega-3s)

½ tsp cinnamon (optional, for added flavor)


Instructions

In a serving bowl, add 1 cup of cottage cheese as the base.

Top with fresh berries of your choice.

Drizzle honey or maple syrup for natural sweetness (optional).

Sprinkle granola or crushed nuts for crunch and extra nutrition.

Add chia seeds or flaxseeds for a fiber and omega-3 boost.

Finish with a dash of cinnamon for added flavor.

Enjoy immediately or chill for a refreshing, protein-packed breakfast!

Notes

For a lower-carb option, skip the honey and granola.

For more protein, add a scoop of protein powder or a handful of nuts.

For a creamy texture, blend the cottage cheese before serving.

Great as a pre/post-workout meal, thanks to its slow-digesting protein.
