Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup low-fat or full-fat cottage cheese (small curd preferred)
- 1/2 cup fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds or ground flaxseeds
- 1 tablespoon almond butter or peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon chopped walnuts or sliced almonds
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- A pinch of ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the Base – Scoop one cup of fresh cottage cheese into a medium-sized bowl. Use the back of a spoon to create a small well in the center to hold your toppings.
- Step 2: Add Fruit and Fiber – Wash your fresh berries and pat them dry. Place the berries on one side of the bowl and sprinkle the chia seeds evenly over the top of the cottage cheese for an extra boost of fiber and omega-3s.
- Step 3: Add Healthy Fats and Crunch – Drizzle the nut butter over the bowl. If your nut butter is too thick, you can microwave it for 10 seconds to make it easier to pour. Scatter the chopped nuts over the top to add a satisfying crunch.
- Step 4: Garnish and Serve – Finish the bowl with a light drizzle of honey or maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter taste. Sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon over everything to enhance the flavors, and enjoy immediately.
