TIPS
Here are some tips for a Protein-Packed Cottage Cheese Bowl:
- Use full-fat cottage cheese: It provides a creamier texture and better flavour.
- Fresh or frozen berries: If fresh berries aren’t available, use frozen ones; just let them thaw slightly before serving.
- Customise sweetness: Swap honey for maple syrup or agave if desired.
- Boost protein further: Add a sprinkle of chia seeds, flaxseeds or a scoop of protein powder.
- Add crunch: Top with granola, nuts or coconut flakes for extra texture.
VARIATIONS
- Tropical Twist: Replace berries with diced mango, pineapple or kiwi for a tropical flavour.
- Nutty Delight: Add chopped almonds, walnuts or pecans for a satisfying crunch.
- Chocolate Indulgence: Sprinkle with cacao nibs or dark chocolate shavings for a hint of chocolate.
- Spiced Version: Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm, comforting taste.
- Dairy-Free Alternative: Use a plant-based cottage cheese substitute made from almond or coconut milk.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Storage: Best consumed immediately but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
- Refrigeration: Keep chilled until ready to serve to maintain freshness.
- Freezing: Freezing is not recommended because cottage cheese can become watery when thawed.
