A quick, easy, and nutritious breakfast bowl combining creamy cottage cheese with fresh peaches, perfect for weight loss and high in protein.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (225g) small-curd full-fat cottage cheese
  • 1 large or 2 medium fresh peaches, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons almonds or walnuts, roughly chopped (optional)
  • Pinch of lemon zest (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry the peaches. Using a sharp paring knife, slice them into thin wedges or bite-sized chunks about 1/2-inch thick. Set aside.
  2. Place 1 cup (225g) of small-curd cottage cheese into a mixing bowl. Gently stir or lightly blend with a spoon or small whisk until creamy but still textured.
  3. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (if using), 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup. Mix well and adjust sweetness if desired.
  4. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon chia seeds into the mixture and stir. Let sit for 5 minutes if you want the seeds to soften slightly.
  5. Spoon the cottage cheese mixture into a serving bowl. Arrange peach slices on top, fan them out for presentation.
  6. Sprinkle chopped almonds or walnuts over the peaches and finish with a pinch of lemon zest.
  7. Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.

Notes

Do not overblend the cottage cheese to keep some texture. Use firm but ripe peaches to avoid sogginess. Prepare cottage cheese mixture ahead but add peaches fresh before serving. Substitute Greek yogurt or plant-based yogurt for cottage cheese if desired. For nut allergies, use pumpkin seeds instead of nuts.
