Equipment

  • small bowl

Ingredients

  • 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese 8 ounces; like Good Culture
  • ¼ cup blueberries or raspberries
  • ¼ cup strawberries sliced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped walnuts

Optional:

  • fresh mint
  • drizzle of honey

Instructions

  • Add cottage cheese to a small bowl. Top with berries. Sprinkle nuts on top. If desired, add fresh mint and drizzle honey on top.
  • Serve cold, or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

  • For the best flavor and texture, you may use creamy cottage cheese and pair it with fresh, in-season fruit for natural sweetness without the need for extra sweeteners.
  • For a smoother texture, whip cottage cheese in a food processor or small blender with a few teaspoons of water. Blend till smooth, scraping down the sides of bowl with a rubber spatula as needed.
  • If you prefer a savory twist, top your single-serve cottage cheese bowl with cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, or a sprinkle of Greek yogurt for a refreshing, veggie-packed option. It’s also a great pre-workout snack when combined with chia seeds, peanut butter, or pineapple for an extra boost of protein and flavor!
  • There are so many options when it comes to making this delicious yet easy breakfast recipe. You can add nuts, seeds, granola, agave syrup, maple syrup, and any in-season fruit like kiwis, bananas, raspberries, apples, grapes, or mangoes. The best fruit depends on your taste!
Recipe Variations:
  • Berry delight: Add blackberries for a fresh, antioxidant-packed bowl.
  • Tropical bliss: Pineapples, mango, and toasted coconut bring a tropical twist to your bowl.
  • Nutty & crunchy: Almonds, pecans, and pumpkin seeds add a satisfying crunch.
  • Peach perfection: Fresh peaches with a drizzle of honey create the best fruit combo for a naturally sweet taste.
Storing Instructions:
  • Save leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. 
    It’s not a good idea to freeze this dish. When you’re ready for more, just whip up another bowl.
