This Cottage Cheese Breakfast Bowl">cottage cheese smoothie bowl is thick, creamy, and absolutely loaded with 30g of protein — making it one of the most nutritious smoothie bowls you can make. Unlike traditional smoothie bowls that rely on banana and yogurt for creaminess, this recipe uses blended cottage cheese as the protein-rich base, creating an incredibly thick and scoopable texture that holds toppings beautifully. When blended with frozen berries and a splash of milk, cottage cheese transforms into a smooth, ice cream-like consistency that tastes nothing like cottage cheese itself. This cottage cheese smoothie bowl recipe is a revelation for anyone who doesn't love the texture of cottage cheese on its own — once blended, it becomes silky smooth with a neutral, creamy flavor that lets the fruit shine. Top with granola, fresh fruit, coconut flakes, and a drizzle of nut butter for a bowl that's as beautiful as it is nourishing. It's ready in under 5 minutes with zero cooking required, making it the perfect summer breakfast or post-workout refuel. For extra thickness, freeze your cottage cheese in an ice cube tray beforehand. This is one of the most popular cottage cheese recipes for good reason.

INSTRUCTIONS

1

Add cottage cheese, frozen berries, frozen banana, milk, and honey to a high-speed blender. Blend until thick and smooth, scraping sides as needed.

2

The consistency should be thick like soft-serve ice cream. Add a splash more milk if too thick, or more frozen fruit if too thin.

3

Pour into a bowl. The mixture should hold its shape and not be runny.

4

Arrange granola, fresh fruit, and coconut flakes on top in an aesthetically pleasing pattern. Serve immediately.

TROUBLESHOOTING

My cottage cheese recipes are too dry

Try adding 1-2 tablespoons more liquid (milk, yogurt, or egg whites). Also ensure you're not over-measuring the protein powder - use the scoop and level method.

They didn't rise properly

Check your baking powder is fresh (test by adding to hot water - it should bubble vigorously). Also, don't overmix the batter as this can deflate the air bubbles.

The texture is rubbery

This usually means too much protein powder or overbaking. Reduce baking time by 2-3 minutes and check doneness with a toothpick.
