High Protein Cottage Cheese Breakfast Bowl
A quick, filling, and nutritious breakfast bowl made with cottage cheese and Greek yogurt, topped with fresh fruit, almond butter, and seeds.
Ingredients
Dairy Base
- 1 cup cottage cheese (small or large curd, full-fat for creamier texture)
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (use strained for thickness)
Toppings
- ½ cup blueberries (fresh or thawed frozen)
- 1 medium banana (sliced, ripe but firm)
- 1 tbsp almond butter (warmed if too thick to drizzle)
- 1 tbsp chia seeds (or swap for hemp seeds)
- 1 tsp honey (maple syrup for vegan option)
- to taste cinnamon
Instructions
Preparation
- Spoon the cottage cheese into a bowl.
- Add the Greek yogurt and gently swirl it into the cottage cheese until smooth and creamy, keeping the mixture marbled.
- Scatter the blueberries on one side and arrange banana slices along another side for visual appeal.
- Drizzle the almond butter over the top, warming it for easier drizzling if needed.
- Sprinkle chia seeds, add a drizzle of honey, and finish with a pinch of cinnamon.
- Taste and adjust the sweetness or crunch by adding more honey or extra seeds.
Notes
Best served with a hot espresso or green tea. Pair with whole-grain toast or a small omelet for a more substantial brunch. For added texture, consider adding a spoonful of granola right before eating.
