    Cottage cheese breakfast bowls are a delicious and nutritious way to start your day. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. To make a basic cottage cheese breakfast bowl, simply mix together some cottage cheese, fresh fruit, and a handful of your favorite nuts or seeds. You can also add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup for some extra sweetness.

    This has been my go to breakfast lately and it's really easy. Sometimes I'll switch up the cottage cheese for Greek Yogurt.

    If you’re in a breakfast rut try these cottage cheese breakfast bowls. They are great for getting in that protein and you can make them a full balanced meal depending on what you put in them. My favorite toppings for cottage cheese breakfast bowls are defrosted mixed berries, chia seeds, and granola.

    Ingredients for Cottage Cheese Breakfast Bowls 

    Ingredients Needed for Cottage Cheese Breakfast Bowls.
    • Fat Free or Low Fat Cottage Cheese - if you don't like cottage cheese feel free to sub greek yogurt or any other type of yogurt! I like the brand Good Culture which you can find at Target.
    • Frozen berries are a convenient and delicious way to enjoy the health benefits of fresh berries all year round. Berries are known for their high antioxidant content, which can help protect the body against damage from free radicals. Use fresh berries when they are in season.
    • Fresh Granola - make your own or buy it from the store! I like the Good and Gather Vanilla yogurt. Sometimes granola is already made with nuts.
    • Honey - Cottage cheese isn't very sweet so I will drizzle a little bit on top.

    Optional Toppings

    • Sunflower Seeds - or any type of your favorite nut
    • Chocolate Chips - can use sugar free (optional)
    • Chia Seeds - are good a source of fiber
    • See the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements.

    Savory Breakfast Bowl

    • Make a savory breakfast bowl instead of sweet! Add fresh cucumbers, basil, tomatoes, or even a fried egg on top. 

    How to Make Cottage Cheese Breakfast Bowls 

    1. In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, honey, and vanilla extract. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
    2. Spoon the mixture into a breakfast bowl.
    3. Top the cottage cheese mixture with fresh berries and granola.
    4. Serve and enjoy!

    Recipe FAQs

    What can I add to my breakfast bowl?

    If you're looking to add more flavor and texture to your breakfast bowl, consider adding some granola or muesli. This will give your bowl a satisfying crunch and help keep you feeling full throughout the morning. You can also experiment with different toppings, such as chia seeds, flax seeds, or dried fruit.

    Are breakfast bowls good for you? 

    If your bowl contains a carb, protein, fat, and fiber then it is healthy and a well-balanced meal. For extra fiber try adding in some fruit and for fat add in peanut butter.
