Instructions

Tips
- Get creative! Have any leftover vegetables or fruit? Cottage cheese bowls are very flexible and taste great with a variety of flavors.
- This recipe is great for a quick grab and go breakfast. Plan ahead and pre-portion and add your ingredients ahead of time. Pre-portioned cottage cheese bowls will keep in the refrigerator for 3-5 days in an airtight container.
