Notes

Nutrient content for these cottage cheese bowls will vary depending on which brand of cottage cheese you choose, which type of fruit you add, and which kind of granola you use.

Variation ideas:

1. Berry Cottage Cheese Bowls: Assemble your bowls with cottage cheese, fresh berries (or frozen), granola, nuts, and a drizzle of honey.
2. Tropical Cottage Cheese Bowls: Top cottage cheese with sliced pineapple, mango, granola, and a sprinkle of coconut shavings.
3. Peanut Butter Banana Cottage Cheese Bowls: Top cottage cheese with granola, sliced banana and a drizzle of your favorite peanut butter or nut butter.
4. Whipped Cottage Cheese Bowls: Blend the cottage cheese first in a food processor or with an immersion blender and then top with whichever toppings you want! My favorite method is to use an immersion blender and blend right in the cottage cheese container.
5. Greek Yogurt and Granola Bowls: Instead of cottage cheese, you can easily use Greek yogurt instead to make yogurt and granola bowls.
6. Savory Cottage Cheese Bowls: Make a savory cottage cheese breakfast bowl by adding sliced avocado, tomatoes, cucumbers, and top with bagel seasoning. Serve with toast or whole grain crackers for dipping. You can even add a drizzle of hot sauce or balsamic glaze.
7. Cottage Cheese Bowl Snacks: Just halve this recipe for a perfect healthy snack idea!
8. Cottage Cheese Toast: Instead of a bowl, top two slices of whole wheat toast with cottage cheese, sliced fruit, and a sprinkle of granola!
