A quick, easy, and nourishing cottage cheese bowl with fresh berries, nuts, and a touch of honey, perfect for breakfast or a snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (225g) small-curd cottage cheese
  • ½ cup (about 75g) fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) honey, raw or local
  • 2 tablespoons (15g) chopped nuts (walnuts, almonds, or pecans)
  • 1 teaspoon (about 5g) chia seeds (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon (1ml) vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch of ground cinnamon (optional)
  • Lemon zest from ½ a lemon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the berries by rinsing gently under cold water and patting dry. Slice larger berries like strawberries into halves or quarters.
  2. In a mixing bowl, add 1 cup (225g) of small-curd cottage cheese. Optionally, stir in vanilla extract and ground cinnamon for added flavor.
  3. Drizzle 1 teaspoon (5ml) honey over the cottage cheese and stir lightly to distribute.
  4. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons (15g) chopped nuts evenly on top, then scatter the prepared fresh berries over the bowl. Add 1 teaspoon (5g) chia seeds if using. Zest half a lemon over everything.
  5. Give the bowl a gentle swirl to combine some toppings with the cottage cheese, leaving some berries and nuts visible. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use small-curd cottage cheese for creamier texture. If using frozen berries, thaw and drain excess liquid before adding. Keep toppings separate if prepping ahead to maintain freshness and crunch. For dairy-free option, substitute cottage cheese with blended silken tofu and almond milk.
