Ingredients You’ll Need

  • 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat, your call)
  • ½ cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 tbsp sliced almonds or walnuts
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract (optional but classy)
  • Pinch of cinnamon (optional but elite)

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Spoon the cottage cheese into a bowl. This is your creamy, protein-packed base.
  2. Add the blueberries on top. Fresh is great, frozen works too—just let them thaw slightly.
  3. Drizzle honey or maple syrup evenly over everything. Don’t drown it, just enhance it.
  4. Sprinkle chia seeds and nuts over the top for crunch and texture.
  5. Add vanilla extract and cinnamon if using. Small details, big payoff.
  6. Grab a spoon and eat immediately, or chill it for a few minutes if you like it cold.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Using watery cottage cheese. Thick and creamy is what you want.
  • Over-sweetening. Blueberries already bring natural sweetness—relax with the honey.
  • Skipping texture. Nuts and seeds matter more than you think.
  • Overthinking it. This is a bowl, not a science experiment.

Alternatives & Substitutions

  • Swap blueberries for strawberries, raspberries, or peaches.
  • Use pineapple if you like sweet-and-tangy combos.
  • Add granola for extra crunch (just don’t go wild).
  • Stir in protein powder if you want to go full gym mode.
  • Blend cottage cheese first if texture weirds you out (IMO, totally worth it).
