A quick and easy high-protein breakfast bowl combining Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, protein powder, and nutritious toppings to fuel your morning with 30 grams of protein.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (about 240g)
  • ½ cup cottage cheese, small-curd (about 120g)
  • 1 scoop vanilla whey or plant-based protein powder (about 30g)
  • ½ cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 tablespoon raw honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds or flaxseeds
  • 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans)
  • 2 tablespoons granola (low-sugar variety)
  • 1 tablespoon natural almond or peanut butter
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • Optional: a few dark chocolate chips or cacao nibs

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, add 1 cup (240g) of plain Greek yogurt and ½ cup (120g) of small-curd cottage cheese. Stir gently with a spoon or spatula until well mixed but still a bit textured (1-2 minutes). For smoother consistency, pulse in a blender for 10 seconds.
  2. Add 1 scoop (about 30g) of vanilla protein powder. Mix thoroughly to avoid clumps. If mixture is too thick, add 1 tablespoon of milk or water to loosen slightly (about 1 minute).
  3. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of raw honey or maple syrup into the mixture (optional). Stir to combine and adjust sweetness to taste.
  4. Gently fold in ½ cup of mixed berries. If using frozen berries, thaw slightly or microwave for 20 seconds to avoid icy chunks.
  5. Sprinkle ½ teaspoon cinnamon and stir lightly. Add 1 tablespoon of natural almond or peanut butter on top or swirl through for creaminess.
  6. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons each of chia seeds (or flaxseeds), chopped nuts, and granola over the bowl just before serving.
  7. Optionally, sprinkle a few dark chocolate chips or cacao nibs for indulgence. Serve immediately or refrigerate up to 1 hour to let flavors meld.

Notes

Keep crunchy toppings separate if preparing the night before to maintain crispness. Use fresh or well-thawed fruit to avoid watery texture. For dairy-free or vegan options, substitute yogurt and cottage cheese with plant-based alternatives and add extra plant protein powder.
