Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups reduced-sodium cottage cheese (see note)
- 1/4 cup canned unsweetened coconut cream (see note)
- 2 tablespoons honey , plus additional to taste
- 1 1/4 cup fresh blueberries , divided
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries , chopped or sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh raspberries
- 1/4 cup fresh blackberries
- 1/2 cup granola
- 1/4 cup pepitas
- 1/4 cup chopped toasted walnuts
Instructions
- Add the cottage cheese, coconut cream, honey, and 1 cup of blueberries to a high-powered blender (such as a Vitamix). Blend for 30 seconds to 1 minute, gradually increasing to high speed, until the mixture is smooth with no visible curds. Stop the blender and scrape down the sides or use your blender’s tamper as needed to keep things moving (see note).
- Taste and adjust sweetness, blending in more honey if desired.
- Divide the blended mixture between 2 to 4 cereal bowls. Top with granola, pepitas, toasted walnuts, and fresh berries, and serve.
Notes
Cottage Cheese: Use whole or low-fat, large or small curd—whatever you prefer. For the best flavor in this sweet recipe, go with reduced-sodium or no-salt-added cottage cheese. If you're using a no-salt version, add a pinch of kosher or sea salt to taste. For more tips and brand recommendations, see the "How to Make" section in the article above.
Coconut Cream: You’ll find coconut cream near the canned coconut milk at the grocery store. It often separates in the can, so whisk it to fully recombine before measuring. Store any leftover cream in the fridge for up to 4–5 days.
Honey: Start with 2 tablespoons and adjust to taste after blending. Maple syrup or agave are good alternatives if you prefer a different sweetener.
Blending Tip: If the mixture is too thick to blend—especially if you're using a drier brand of cottage cheese—add a teaspoon of extra coconut cream to help loosen it and get things moving.
Chilling Option: The blended cottage cheese will thicken slightly when chilled. If you prefer a thicker smoothie bowl base, blend it up the night before you're going to serve and top it when you're ready to eat. Stir the blended cottage cheese before serving.
