A quick and satisfying protein bowl combining creamy cottage cheese with honey and fresh berries, perfect for rushed mornings or a light meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (225g) full-fat cottage cheese
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) honey, preferably raw or wildflower
  • 1 cup (150g) mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries), fresh or frozen
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons chopped almonds or walnuts (or sunflower seeds as nut-free alternative)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)

Instructions

  1. Scoop 1 cup (225g) of full-fat cottage cheese into a mixing bowl. Drain slightly if too watery.
  2. Add ½ teaspoon vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons (30ml) honey. Stir gently until honey is fully incorporated and mixture looks glossy.
  3. If using fresh berries, rinse and pat dry. If frozen, let thaw slightly. Add 1 cup (150g) mixed berries to the cottage cheese mixture.
  4. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon chia seeds and 2 tablespoons chopped nuts over the top. Add 1 teaspoon lemon zest if using. Stir lightly to combine without crushing berries.
  5. Spoon mixture into a serving bowl. Drizzle extra honey on top if desired.
  6. Enjoy immediately or chill for 10 minutes before serving for a colder bowl.

Notes

Use full-fat cottage cheese for creaminess; drain if watery. Mix honey thoroughly to avoid clumps. Do not over-stir after adding berries to keep texture. Prepare just before eating to avoid watery mixture. Optional to chill for 10 minutes before serving. Can substitute Greek yogurt or silken tofu for dairy-free version.
