Blended Cottage Cheese Bowls (2 Ways)

These blended cottage cheese bowls are creamy, high protein and perfect sweet or savory! They are sure to convert any cottage cheese hater.

Forget about Greek yogurt parfaits, let's talk about blended cottage cheese bowls! I've been enjoying cottage cheese in dips and on toast, but this recipe has been my new go-to way to enjoy cottage cheese.

Cottage cheese has been all the talk on social media lately, but I know a lot of you are still skeptical. I'll admit, the texture may not be the most appetizing, but I'm obsessed with the nutrition benefits! Similar to yogurt, cottage cheese is a source of high-quality complete protein, calcium and vitamin D. And once it has a run through the food processor, the blended cottage cheese has the creamiest, thick texture perfect for anyone who can't stand the curds.

Our blended cottage cheese is the ideal blank canvas for a really easy bowl that comes together in 5 minutes, making it a great FAST meal or snack. Use whatever you have in the fridge, and I know it'll turn out delicious. Sweet or savoury, the choice is up to you!

Ingredients

Instructions

In a high powered blender or food processor add cottage cheese. If you are making the sweet bowl, add honey. If you are making the savoury bowl, add chives and garlic.

Blend until smooth, about 2 minutes.

Be patient and allow the cottage cheese to get nice and smooth.

Once smooth, add to a bowl.

For the sweet bowl,  top with fruit, granola and drizzle with peanut butter.

For the savoury bowl, top with cucumber, red peppers, blistered cherry tomatoes (see below), everything but the bagel seasoning, hemp seeds and pair with crackers of choice!

For the blistered tomatoes, you can add the tomatoes directly into a pan over medium-high heat with a little olive oil, salt and pepper and cook until soft. Alternatively, toss tomatoes in olive oil, salt and black pepper and air fry at 390F for about 5 minutes.

Substitutions and Variations

Once you have your blended cottage cheese base, the toppings are truly up to you. Feel free to also adjust the spices and sweetener to your preferences! Get creative and use what you have on hand.

Here are some other toppings to try next:

Equipment

• Food processor or blender

Storage

Blended cottage cheese will stay fresh in the fridge for up to 5 days in an airtight container. I recommend storing the toppings and cottage cheese separately to avoid the toppings getting soggy!

Top Tip

Be patient and allow the cottage cheese to get nice and blended before adding it to your bowl. This will give it a nice and whipped consistency, perfect for the base of your bowl!

If you're using a lower power blender, it may take a bit of time to smooth out. Try to avoid the temptation of adding liquid- this will result in a much thinner consistency, which we want to avoid!
