Make your own Whipped Cottage Cheese Breakfast Bowl topped with berries, coconut flakes, and hazelnuts. A perfect treat that tastes indulgent but is actually very healthy!
Have you ever had whipped cottage cheese? If not, you are missing out!
Regular cottage cheese is already pretty good – it is a great snack that is low-carb and high in protein, and it goes great with both sweet and savory mix-ins. But whipping it takes it to a whole new level.
So I would like to share with you my recipe for Whipped Cottage Cheese Breakfast Bowls. I make these regularly for breakfast or as a snack, and they are super delicious. The whipped cottage cheese is so creamy and smooth that it will feel like an indulgent treat.
How to make a whipped cottage cheese breakfast bowl
It’s so simple that you can barely call it a recipe:
Step 1 – pulse the cottage cheese in a small food processor or personal blender for about 2-3 minutes until it is smooth and creamy.
Step 2 – prepare toppings. You can use berries, fruit, nuts, seeds or almost anything else you like. For this recipe, I used pomegranate, blackberries, hazelnuts, and coconut flakes.
I toasted the hazelnuts and coconut flakes in a dry skillet for 2 minutes to give them a slightly “toasty” flavor and aroma, but you really don’t have to if you don’t want to spend that time.
Step 3 – Serve right away or keep in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
That’s it! Super easy, right?
Prepare the cottage cheese in advance
I often whip up cottage cheese right when I bring it home and then put it back into the original container. This way it is ready to go whenever I get a snack attack.
The whipped cottage cheese can’t keep for quite a long as when it’s un-whipped, so only do this when you know you eat it in the next 1-2 days.
If I don’t use all the cottage cheese for breakfast bowls, I typically make a few cottage cheese pancakes as well. They are my favorite low-carb pancakes and great when you have a little more time to make breakfast.
