Cottage Cheese Breakfast Bowl, Sweet or Savory in 5 Min!

Cottage cheese breakfast bowl is the fastest real breakfast I make. I layer full fat cottage cheese with thick Greek yogurt, top it with whatever fruit is in season, and it's ready before my coffee finishes brewing. I make it two ways in this post, a sweet version with berries and a savory version with cucumber, egg, and everything bagel seasoning, so you can pick whichever one fits your morning.

Notes

Wash and pat the berries dry with a paper towel before using them. If the berries are too wet, it can make the whole bowl watery.
When meal prepping, I like to use sturdy glass containers with a tight lid. This helps keep everything fresh and stops any spills.
If you’re using granola, add it just before you’re ready to eat so it doesn’t get soggy.
Storage & Meal Prep:
I prefer to store the cottage cheese and yogurt separately from the toppings. This keeps everything as fresh as possible. Just store all of the components in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
If you’re meal-prepping and want a quick grab-and-go option, you can store everything together. If the berries get a little juicy, just stir everything together to make it thick and creamy again.
