Ingredients

Main ingredients

  • 1 slice whole grain bread (toasted to your preference) Sturdy loaves like sourdough or sprouted grain work great
  • 1/2 to 3/4 cup cottage cheese Use low-fat or full-fat depending on calories; small-curd or large-curd both work
  • 1 small banana, sliced
  • 3–4 strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 kiwi, peeled and sliced
  • a handful blueberries
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds Or more to taste

Instructions

Preparation

  • Toast the whole grain bread until golden and crisp to prevent sogginess.
  • Spread a generous layer (about 1/2–3/4 cup) of cottage cheese evenly over the warm toast.
  • Slice the banana, strawberries, and kiwi into even pieces for a neat presentation.
  • Arrange the banana, strawberry, kiwi slices, and scatter the blueberries on top of the cottage cheese.
  • Sprinkle chia seeds over the fruit for a textural lift and extra nutrition.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy while the toast is still crisp.

Notes

This toast is best eaten immediately; the bread will soften if left for more than 15-20 minutes. If preparing ahead, keep components separate until serving to maintain texture.
