Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cottage cheese (base for both bowls)
  • ¼ cup sliced strawberries
  • ¼ cup blueberries
  • 2 tbsp granola
  • 1 tbsp peanut butter (warmed slightly if needed)
  • 1 tsp honey
  • dash of cinnamon (optional)
  • ½ Persian cucumber, diced
  • 5–6 cherry tomatoes, halved or diced
  • ¼ avocado, diced
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Equipment

  • Bowl for serving
  • Cutting Board
  • Sharp knife for prepping toppings
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons
  • Food Processor (optional) for whipped cottage cheese texture

Method
 

  1. Add 1 cup of cottage cheese to a serving bowl. Stir gently or whip for a smoother texture, if desired.
  2. For the sweet bowl: top with strawberries, blueberries, granola, and drizzle with peanut butter and honey. Add a dash of cinnamon if using.
  3. For the savory bowl: top with diced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, avocado, chopped parsley, olive oil, and black pepper. Serve immediately.

Notes

Customize your bowl with different fruits, nut butters, herbs, or spices. For a creamier texture, whip the cottage cheese in a food processor. Always assemble just before eating for maximum freshness. Use full-fat or low-fat cottage cheese to fit your preference.
