Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup low-fat or 2% cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup fresh berries (blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flax seeds
- 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts or almonds
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Optional: 1 tablespoon almond butter or peanut butter
Instructions
- Start by scooping one cup of fresh, cold cottage cheese into a medium-sized bowl. If you prefer a smoother texture, you can pulse the cottage cheese in a blender for 30 seconds before putting it in the bowl. This creates a consistency similar to Greek yogurt but with a milder flavor profile.
- Sprinkle the ground cinnamon over the cottage cheese. Stir it gently to incorporate the spice throughout the base. Next, layer your fresh berries on top. Berries add natural sweetness and a necessary fiber boost to the meal. Sprinkle your chia seeds and chopped nuts over the top to provide a satisfying crunch and healthy fats.
- Drizzle the honey or maple syrup over the entire bowl. If you want extra richness, add a dollop of almond butter. Serve the bowl immediately, or cover it with a lid if you are taking it to go. You can also prep these in glass jars for the entire week to save time in the mornings.
- Cook Time: 5 minutes
