Cottage cheese berry bowl
Cold cottage cheese, berries, and a sprinkle of seeds — fridge-to-bowl protein when you want something sweet-adjacent.

makes 1 serving
Ingredients
- 200 gLow-fat cottage cheese — about ¾–1 cup
- 60 gMixed berries — fresh or thawed frozen
- 1 tspChia or ground flax (optional) — skip if fiber is rough
- 1 dashCinnamon or vanilla extract (optional)
Steps
Bowl the cottage cheese
Scoop into a small bowl. Cold from the fridge is the point.
Top, do not bury
Add a modest handful of berries on top — colour and a little fiber, not a fruit salad. Optional seed sprinkle for a gram of fiber.
Eat with a small spoon
Slow spoons. If the sweetness helps you finish protein, keep that pattern; if fruit volume feels like too much, leave berries for later.
When you can barely eat
Plain 120 g cottage cheese, no berries, no seeds. A few spoons from a ramekin is enough for ~15 g protein. Or blend the same amount with a splash of water into a cold cottage “drink” if chewing is the barrier.
~15 g protein on this smaller version
- 120 g Low-fat cottage cheese
Notes
- Same food family as the egg plate — keep both in rotation so protein does not get boring.
- Full-fat cottage cheese is fine if you prefer it; macros shift but the habit matters more.
