Description
This Blueberry Cottage Cheese Breakfast is a quick, healthy, and delicious way to start your day, combining protein-rich cottage cheese with fresh blueberries and optional toppings like honey, nuts, and seeds.
Ingredients
- 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen, thawed)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1 tablespoon chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans), optional
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flax seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Scoop the cottage cheese into a bowl. If you prefer a smoother texture, stir it lightly to make it creamier.
- Top the cottage cheese with the fresh blueberries. If using frozen blueberries, ensure they are thawed and drained before adding them to avoid excess liquid.
- Drizzle honey or maple syrup over the cottage cheese and blueberries if you prefer some sweetness. Optionally, sprinkle ground cinnamon for extra flavor.
- Add chopped nuts and seeds for a crunch, and enjoy your protein-packed breakfast!
Notes
- This breakfast can be made sweeter with more honey or syrup or with a splash of vanilla extract.
- For a vegan version, swap cottage cheese for plant-based alternatives like vegan yogurt or dairy-free cottage cheese.
- Store leftovers in separate containers in the fridge for up to 1-2 days, combining them when ready to eat.
- If you like a creamier texture, you can use Greek yogurt instead of cottage cheese.
