This meal prep recipe makes 2 servings, so you can quickly assemble toast or a bagel on busy mornings. It’s packed with protein and fiber to keep you full and energized, without sacrificing flavor.
The taste is a perfect balance of sweet berries, tangy cottage cheese, and rich balsamic glaze—even cottage cheese skeptics may love it. It’s easy, customizable, and can be made sweeter, higher in protein, or even savory with toppings like tomatoes and olive oil.
An easy, balanced breakfast that feels indulgent but supports your nutrition goals.
Ingredients:
- 16 ounces of 1% milkfast cottage cheese
- 2 slices of your favorite (whole wheat) bread
- Chia seeds, two tablespoons
- Fresh or frozen berries, about 1 cup
- 1 tbsp Balsamic glaze
- Honey, optional, to taste
- 10g Sliced almonds, optional. Adds great texture and crunch!
Preparation:
- Add the entire 16 ounces of cottage cheese to a high-speed blender or food processor. Add honey or preferred sweetener, optional, to taste.
- Blend on high for 30–60 seconds, pausing to scrape down the sides as needed, until the texture is completely smooth and creamy – similar to Greek yogurt or ricotta. Add a splash of milk as needed if the blade gets stuck.
- Scrape the cottage cheese back into the container using a spatula.
- Add chia seeds to the container and stir.
- Allow to refrigerate for at least 6 hours. The cottage cheese will thicken into more of a cream cheese-like consistency that is super easy to spread.
- Assemble when ready to eat: cottage cheese on a large slice of toasted bread, evenly distributed berries, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze. Add honey or sliced almonds, if preferred.
- Store in the cottage cheese container for 6-7 days in the fridge! Assemble your breakfast toast throughout the week for an easy, filling breakfast.
