Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup 4% milkfat cottage cheese (small curd preferred)
- 1 tablespoon hemp seeds (adds 3g protein)
- 1/4 cup fresh blueberries or raspberries
- 2 tablespoons sliced almonds or crushed walnuts
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds
- Optional: 1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder (for an extra protein boost)
- Optional: A few drops of liquid stevia or a drizzle of sugar-free syrup
Instructions
- Base Preparation: Scoop one cup of cold cottage cheese into a medium-sized bowl. If you prefer a smoother, pudding-like consistency, you can pulse the cottage cheese in a small blender or food processor for 30 seconds before putting it in the bowl. If you are using protein powder for an extra boost, stir it into the cottage cheese now until completely smooth and incorporated.
- Adding the Crunch: Sprinkle the hemp seeds, chia seeds, and sliced almonds evenly over the top of the cottage cheese. These ingredients provide essential healthy fats and additional protein, while the nuts add a necessary textural contrast to the creamy base.
- Finishing Touches: Layer the fresh berries on top. Dust the entire bowl with ground cinnamon for warmth and natural sweetness. If you prefer a sweeter profile, add your choice of low-carb sweetener or sugar-free syrup. Serve immediately while cold, or pack into a portable container for an easy meal on the go.
- Cook Time: 5 minutes
