Cottage Cheese Breakfast Bowl (Printer-friendly)

Creamy cottage cheese layered with berries, banana, granola and honey for a quick, protein-packed breakfast bowl.

# What You'll Need:

→ Dairy

01 - 1 cup cottage cheese, full-fat or low-fat

→ Fruits

02 - 1/2 cup mixed fresh berries such as strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries
03 - 1/2 medium banana, sliced

→ Toppings

04 - 1/4 cup granola
05 - 1 tablespoon chia seeds, optional
06 - 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup

# How To Make It:

01 - Spoon cottage cheese into a medium serving bowl and smooth the surface.
02 - Arrange the mixed berries and banana slices evenly over the cottage cheese.
03 - Sprinkle granola and optionally chia seeds over the fruit.
04 - Drizzle honey or maple syrup on top of the assembled bowl.
05 - Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • No cooking means it comes together in less time than it takes to make toast.
  • The endless combinations of fruit and toppings keep it interesting morning after morning.
02 -
  • Adding granola too early can make it lose its crunch—wait until right before digging in.
  • Slicing fruit directly over the bowl keeps the juices (and flavor) right where they belong.
03 -
  • Let the cottage cheese come just to room temperature for the best flavor.
  • A pinch of flaky salt on top brings out both the fruit's sweetness and the cottage cheese's richness.
