Peach Pie Cottage Cheese Bowls
Cottage cheese topped with fresh fruit is a fast and healthy breakfast or snack. It’s such a terrific combo, cottage cheese brands (like my favorite Good Culture) sell it that way. But should you look closely, there really isn’t much fruit in them. These Peach Pie Cottage Cheese Bowls, then again, are loaded with fresh ripe summer peaches which might be evenly caramelized with just a little brown sugar and hint of cinnamon. With only about 2 grams of added sugar (the remainder is from the fruit) and a whopping 31 grams of protein, these bowls keep you satisfied and are sure to make it into your weekly rotation. More cottage cheese recipes I like, Savory Cottage Cheese Bowls, Burst Tomato Cottage Cheese Caprese, and Scrambled Eggs with Cottage Cheese.
Is cottage cheese and peaches good for you?
These cottage cheese bowls with fresh peaches are loaded with fiber and protein making it a healthy breakfast. It’s also evenly sweetened, letting a lot of the sugar come from the sweetness of the in season fruit. Enjoy this for breakfast or at the same time as a snack, or dessert.
Variations:
- Do that with other stone fruit like nectarines or apricots
- For those who don’t like cottage cheese, this might even be great over yogurt
- Make a peach ricotta toast by subbing out cottage cheese for ricotta and serving over toast.
