Low Carb Cottage Cheese Breakfast Bowl
A high-protein, low-carb cottage cheese breakfast bowl that’s creamy, fresh, and under 250 calories. Perfect for healthy January mornings.
Ingredients
- 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
- ¼ cup fresh blueberries
- ¼ cup sliced strawberries
- 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Optional: 5 drops liquid stevia or monk fruit sweetener
- Optional: fresh mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Grab your favorite bowl and add the cottage cheese as your base. I like using a wide, shallow bowl so I can see all the pretty toppings.
- Arrange your berries on top of the cottage cheese. I usually do half on one side and half on the other, but honestly just dump them on if you’re in a hurry.
- Sprinkle the walnuts and chia seeds over everything. The chia seeds will start absorbing moisture and create this nice texture.
- Dust with cinnamon because it makes everything taste amazing and helps with blood sugar balance. Win-win!
- Add your sweetener if you’re using it. I find the berries usually provide enough natural sweetness, but some days I want it a bit sweeter.
- Top with fresh mint if you have it. This step is totally optional but makes it feel fancy.
- Dig in immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours if you’re meal prepping.
