Ingredients

Scale

1 cup (about 226g) cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat, depending on preference)

1/2 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen, such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)

1 tablespoon chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans)

1 teaspoon chia seeds or hemp seeds

Drizzle of honey or maple syrup (optional, to taste)

Pinch of ground cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare Your Base: Start by spooning 1 cup of cottage cheese into your favorite bowl. Ensure it’s evenly distributed to create a nice foundation for your toppings.

2. Add Your Berries: Sprinkle the 1/2 cup of mixed berries over the cottage cheese. If using frozen berries, they can be added directly or slightly thawed for a softer texture.

3. Introduce Some Crunch: Evenly distribute the 1 tablespoon of chopped nuts over the berries. This adds a lovely textural contrast and healthy fats.

4. Boost the Nutrients: Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of chia seeds or hemp seeds over the top. These tiny seeds are packed with fiber and omega-3s.

5. Sweeten to Taste (Optional): If you prefer a sweeter bowl, drizzle a small amount of honey or maple syrup over the ingredients. Start with a little and add more if desired.

6. Finish with Spice (Optional): For an extra layer of warmth and flavor, add a pinch of ground cinnamon over the entire bowl.

7. Serve Immediately: Your protein-packed cottage cheese bowl is now ready to enjoy! Give it a gentle stir if you like, or eat it in layers.
