Equipment

Ingredients

1 cup cottage cheese (I use Good Culture brand whole fat or low-fat)
1 cup sliced strawberries (about 8 strawberries, or fruit of choice)
1 teaspoon maple syrup (or sweetener of choice)
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
toppings: mint leaves, blueberries, granola (optional)

Instructions

Add cottage cheese, strawberries or other fruit of choice, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to a blender or food processor.
Blend or puree the cottage cheese and fruit mixture until it is a creamy consistency, about 40-60 seconds.
Top the cottage cheese with blueberries, mint, granola, or your toppings of choice.
Hint: If you want an easy breakfast to grab-and-go for the morning, you can meal prep this bowl the night before and store it in an airtight container in the fridge. Add toppings in the morning and be on your way.

Registered Dietitian Tip

Cottage Cheese contains 14 grams of protein per half cup serving! Protein can help you feel full for longer and helps to support hormone health. But many people don't realize that some brans of cottage cheese also contain probiotics. Probiotics are great to incorporate into your diet for a healthy gut. Some cottage cheese brands are pasteurized and therefore do not contain live probiotics. Look for the words "live, active cultures" on the label.

Additional Nutrition Information

While healthy means something different to everyone, this cottage cheese with fruit recipe is a nourishing option. It contains 14 grams of protein, probiotics and several other nutrients including phosphorus and selenium from the cottage cheese and antioxidants and vitamin C from the berries.
