Description
A refreshing and nutritious breakfast option blending creamy cottage cheese with sweet pineapple and granola.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
- 1 cup fresh pineapple, diced
- 1/2 cup granola
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
- 2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut (optional)
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Start by taking your low-fat cottage cheese and dividing it evenly between the two bowls. The creamy texture of cottage cheese serves as a delicious base, offering a satisfying mouthfeel while providing a healthy dose of protein.
- Next, take the fresh diced pineapple and generously place it on top of the cottage cheese. Pineapple adds not only sweet juiciness but also vitamins like C and A, giving your breakfast a refreshing tropical flair!
- Now it’s time for texture! Sprinkle half a cup of granola over each bowl, allowing the crunchy elements to contrast beautifully with the creaminess of the cottage cheese and the softness of the pineapple.
- If you’d like to amp up the nutritional value of your bowl, this is the moment to add the chia seeds and shredded coconut. Drizzle honey or maple syrup if you prefer a touch of sweetness. These optional ingredients enhance the flavor profile while introducing healthy fats and fibers.
- Finally, top off your creation with fresh mint leaves. Not only do they add a pop of color, but mint also introduces a hint of aromatic freshness that elevates the entire dish. Serve the bowl immediately and enjoy every refreshing bite!
