This sweet cottage cheese bowl topped with sautéed blueberries has gained over one million views. Simple, satisfying and 3 ingredients.
A few years ago, I first shared my blueberry cottage cheese bowl on Youtube shorts and Instagram reels.
The video went absolutely BONKERS.
The community LOVED this simple, satiating and clever spin on cottage cheese.
This is one of those fast and simple meals that I always keep on hand to have as break-fast or lunch.
It’s packed with protein, coming in at around 28 grams of complete protein per serving. Whether you’re working toward a weight loss goal, looking to reduce sugar cravings or simply just promote overall wellness, hitting adequate protein in a day is nutritionally one of the most important things you can do.
Cottage cheese on its own is incredibly high in protein. Typically around 1 1/4 cup of cottage cheese (depending on the brand) will have around 30 grams of complete protein.
And cottage cheese is great… but what makes this recipe really shine is the topping: sautéed blueberries.
By lightly sautéing frozen blueberries for a few minutes before topping on cottage cheese, it releases the sweet juices and provides a warming, jammy addition to the meal.
It’s also more economical than using fresh blueberries. Frozen blueberries tend to be significantly less expensive than fresh and they don’t go bad (or at least they don’t go bad nearly as quickly).
As long as you have frozen blueberries, some nuts or nut butters in the pantry and a container of cottage cheese in the fridge, you can whip up a high protein break-fast or lunch in a matter of minutes.
Equipment Needed
- Sauce pan or skillet
