Print Recipe

A quick and easy high-protein breakfast bowl combining creamy cottage cheese, fresh berries, and a drizzle of honey for a wholesome and satisfying start to your day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) small-curd cottage cheese
  • 1 cup (150 grams) fresh mixed berries (blueberries, sliced strawberries, raspberries)
  • 1–2 tablespoons (15–30 ml) honey (raw or organic)
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse 1 cup (150 grams) of mixed fresh berries under cold water. Pat dry gently with a paper towel. Slice larger berries like strawberries into bite-sized pieces.
  2. In a medium bowl, add 1 cup (240 ml) of small-curd cottage cheese. Gently mash it with the back of a spoon or fork until smooth but still slightly chunky if desired.
  3. Stir in ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon of chia seeds if using.
  4. Spoon the cottage cheese mixture into your serving bowl or jar. Top evenly with the prepared berries.
  5. Drizzle 1 to 2 tablespoons (15-30 ml) of honey in a zig-zag pattern over the berries and cheese.
  6. Garnish with a few fresh mint leaves if available.
  7. Serve immediately for the freshest flavor and texture. If prepping ahead, cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.

Notes

Use fresh, firm berries to avoid watery texture. Gently mash cottage cheese for creamier texture. Warm honey slightly if crystallized for easier drizzling. Assemble just before eating to maintain freshness. Optional toppings like toasted nuts or seeds add crunch if added just before serving.
