Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup low-fat or 2% cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup fresh berries (blueberries, raspberries, or sliced strawberries)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds or hemp hearts
- 1 tablespoon almond butter or peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- A pinch of ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons granola for crunch
Instructions
- Choose a medium-sized bowl and scoop in one full cup of chilled cottage cheese. If you prefer a smoother texture similar to yogurt, you can quickly pulse the cottage cheese in a blender or food processor before adding it to the bowl. Spread the cheese evenly across the bottom to create a base for your toppings.
- Layer your fresh berries over one side of the bowl. Drizzle the almond butter in a thin stream over the cheese. Sprinkle the chia seeds and ground cinnamon evenly across the surface. These additions provide healthy fats and fiber, which work alongside the protein to stabilize your blood sugar levels throughout the morning.
- Add the granola last to ensure it stays perfectly crunchy. If you want a hint of extra sweetness, drizzle your honey or maple syrup over the fruit. Serve immediately while the cottage cheese is still cold and the toppings are fresh. Grab a spoon and enjoy a breakfast that actually works as hard as you do.
