Ingredients
Scale
- 40 oz Low-fat or Full-fat Cottage Cheese (8 oz per bowl)
- 2 cups Fresh Blueberries or Raspberries
- 1 cup Sliced Strawberries
- 1/2 cup Toasted Sliced Almonds or Walnuts
- 1/4 cup Chia Seeds or Hemp Hearts
- 5 tsp Honey or Sugar-free Maple Syrup (optional)
- 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
- Optional: 5 scoops of Collagen Peptides or Vanilla Protein Powder for an extra boost
Instructions
- Line up five airtight glass meal prep containers on your counter. Scoop exactly 8 ounces (about 1 cup) of cottage cheese into each container. If you are using protein powder or collagen to boost the protein content even further, stir one scoop into each bowl now until the mixture is smooth and well-combined. Use a spatula to level the top of the cheese so it creates a flat surface for your toppings.
- Divide your fresh berries equally among the five containers, placing them on one side of the cottage cheese. Sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon over the cheese surface in each bowl. If you prefer your sweetener mixed in, drizzle your honey or maple syrup over the fruit and cheese now. Keeping the fruit on top rather than stirring it in helps prevent the cheese from turning purple or becoming too watery over the next few days.
- Top each bowl with a tablespoon of sliced almonds and a teaspoon of chia seeds. If you prefer your nuts to stay extra crunchy, you can place them in a small separate snack bag or a tiny condiment container inside the main bowl. Secure the lids tightly on your containers and place them in the refrigerator. Your meal prep is now complete and ready for the work week!
