Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup low-fat or 2% cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup fresh berries (blueberries, raspberries, or sliced strawberries)
- 1 tablespoon almond butter or peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds or hemp hearts
- 1 teaspoon honey or pure maple syrup (optional)
- A sprinkle of cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons granola for crunch
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the Base 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. This removes the curds and creates a silky texture that many people find more appealing.
- Step 2: Add the Toppings Layer your fresh berries over one side of the cottage cheese. Drizzle the nut butter across the center. If your nut butter is too thick to drizzle, microwave it for 10 seconds to serializer loosen it up. Sprinkle the chia seeds and cinnamon evenly over the entire bowl to ensure every bite has a bit of spice and fiber.
- Step 3: Final Touches Add the granola last to keep it from getting soggy. Finish the bowl with a light drizzle of honey or maple syrup if you want a touch of extra sweetness. Grab a spoon and dive in immediately while the cottage cheese is cold and the granola is perfectly crunchy.
