Cottage Cheese Breakfast Ideas

Cottage cheese and granola is one of the easiest on the go breakfast and for me and a perfect way to start the day!

Cottage cheese breakfasts that are cute seem to be home runs in our house.

My son always loves eating blog projects. He isn’t a fan of cottage cheese alone but when I pair it with fruit, granola or bake with is as I did when I made our breakfast egg bites and muffins, he seems to like it.

The presentation makes him forget that Cottage Cheese is good for you! -ha.

Hood Cottage Cheese with fruit (pineapple added) is the perfect flavor for this recipe but if you don’t like pineapple, just use Hood Plain Cottage Cheese.

What to eat with cottage cheese

Cottage cheese for breakfast is as easy as 1, 2, 3 ….

There is no meal prep for the most part and high protein make this a go-to breakfast for me.

Cottage cheese for breakfast with apples and cinnamon, blueberries or strawberries pair nicely together and to add a little sweetness, I decided to drizzle honey too. You can also flavored granola but just watch the added sugars. I love how many different cottage cheese recipes you can make!

I personally want to try the granola mix with cranberries and raisins.

I think that would be delicious!

Cottage Cheese Snacks

Many times I am running to a meeting or on the go and I love the use of mason jars with lids for these kinds of breakfast ideas or snacks. Scooping up a bite of cottage cheese with a cracker is also a quick and easy snack idea.

It’s so easy to mix them up the day or two before and grab them with you need them.

I wouldn’t mix them up more than a day or two though in advance as the granola and fruit may be soggy. I find that one or two days, tops, is the perfect amount of time.
