Quick Facts

  • High-protein breakfast bowl
  • No cooking required
  • Summer-friendly and meal-prep ready

Tips

  • Use full-fat cottage cheese for a creamier texture and better satiety.
  • Let the bowl rest for 2 minutes before eating so the chia seeds lightly hydrate.
  • Slice the peach just before serving to keep the fruit juicy and vibrant.

Variations

  • Creamier Base
    Blend the cottage cheese briefly until smooth before assembling the bowl. This creates a yogurt-like texture without changing the flavor.
  • Extra Protein Option
    Add a spoon of plain Greek yogurt or a sprinkle of hemp seeds to increase protein while keeping the bowl balanced. If you enjoy high-protein options that still feel like a treat, take a look at our High-Protein Desserts Recipes for more nutritious ideas.
  • Crunch Boost
    Lightly toast the nuts before adding them. This enhances flavor and adds contrast to the creamy base.
  • Meal Prep Version
    Assemble the bowl without the nuts, cover, and refrigerate. Add the crunchy toppings just before eating to maintain texture. For more easy, make-ahead breakfast ideas, check out our Overnight Oats Recipes, perfect for busy mornings and packed with nutrition.
