Cottage Cheese-based Breakfasts

 Cottage Cheese Breakfast Bowl

A quick, no-cook option that's high in protein.

Ingredients (per serving):

  • 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup berries of choice
  • 2 tbsp walnuts
  • Sprinkle of cinnamon 
  • 1 packet stevia
  • Drizzle of maple syrup (optional)
  1. Place the cottage cheese in the bowl and mix in the stevia and cinnamon. 
  2. Top with the berries and nuts.
  3. If cottage cheese isn't your thing, replace it with ricotta (part-skim) and mix everything instead of layering.

Fluffy Cottage Cheese Pancakes

These are protein-packed and taste like regular pancakes but with way fewer carbs.

Ingredients (makes 4-6 small pancakes):

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 4 eggs
  • 2-4 tbsp almond flour 
  • Pinch of salt, vanilla, and low-carb sweetener (optional)

  1. Blend everything in a blender until smooth
  2. Cook spoonfuls on a hot, greased skillet like regular pancakes (medium heat, 2-3 minutes per side).

Mediterranean Breakfast bowl

  • 2 large eggs, medium cooked
  • 1/2 avocado

  1. Place the cottage cheese or ricotta in a small bowl.
  2. Chop the herbs up and mix in with the cheese.
  3. Scoop into a serving plate
  4. Cut up the avocado into slices and top with Olive oil
