Cottage Cheese, Berry & Pistachio Power Bowl
Method
Prepare the base: Add the cottage cheese to a bowl and stir in the cinnamon and lemon zest. If the cottage cheese is very thick, loosen it with 1 tablespoon of water for a creamier texture.
Build the bowl: Spoon the cottage cheese mixture into a wide serving bowl. Arrange the berries over one side and sprinkle the oats and chia seeds across the top.
Add the crunch: Scatter over the chopped pistachios and drizzle with almond butter. Add a small amount of maple syrup if you prefer extra sweetness.
Finish: Garnish with fresh mint and a little extra lemon zest. Serve immediately, or refrigerate for 10–15 minutes to allow the chia seeds to soften slightly.
Vegan option: Replace the cottage cheese with 200 g unsweetened high-protein soy yogurt or a blend of silken tofu and soy yogurt. Use maple syrup instead of honey if additional sweetness is desired. The pistachios and chia seeds remain unchanged. Creamy cottage cheese, juicy berries, pistachios and chia seeds create a satisfying breakfast with an impressive combination of protein, fibre and healthy fats. Lemon zest and fresh mint add brightness, while the contrasting creamy, juicy and crunchy textures make this simple bowl feel special.
