Whipped Cottage Cheese with Raspberries and Granola

Starting the day with an easy, protein-rich breakfast not only boosts energy but also leads to making healthier decisions throughout the day. That’s why I’m loving this whipped cottage cheese with raspberries and granola bowl. Keep reading to find out why I like it so much because of the added benefits.

Protein

This recipe is a good source of protein, mainly from the cottage cheese. Protein is essential for building and repairing tissues, making enzymes and hormones, and is a building block of bones, muscles, cartilage, skin, and blood.

Vitamins and Minerals

The ingredients in this recipe provide a variety of vitamins and minerals. Raspberries are high in Vitamin C and fiber, while the granola and almond butter contribute to the intake of Vitamin E, magnesium, and iron. These nutrients support various bodily functions including immune health, digestion, and energy production.

Macronutrients

This recipe provides a balanced mix of macronutrients - carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. The carbohydrates from the granola and maple syrup provide energy, the protein from the cottage cheese aids in tissue repair and building, and the fats from the almond butter support cell growth and hormone production.

Ingredients: 2 servings

  • 2 cups Cottage Cheese

  • 2 tbsps Maple Syrup (divided)

  • 2/3 cup Raspberries

  • 1/3 cup Granola

  • 1 tbsp Almond Butter

Recipe:

  • Add the cottage cheese and half the maple syrup to a blender or food processor. Blend on high speed until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.

  • Transfer to bowls or containers, if on-the-go. Top with berries, granola, almond butter, and the remaining maple syrup. Enjoy!

More Notes:

  • Leftovers: Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to three days. For best results, refrigerate the toppings separate from cottage cheese.

  • Serving Size: One serving is approximately one cup of cottage cheese with toppings.

  • Additional Toppings: Hemp seeds, chia seeds, shredded coconut, and/or cinnamon.
