Ingredients
  

1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

1/2 cup rolled oats

1/4 cup cottage cheese

1/4 cup chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans)

1/2 cup fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries)

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)

1 tablespoon chia seeds or flaxseeds

Pinch of cinnamon (optional)

A handful of fresh spinach or kale (optional for greens)

Instructions
 

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and cottage cheese, mixing until smooth and creamy.

    Stir in the rolled oats, chia seeds, and a pinch of cinnamon if using. Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the oats and seeds to soften.

      While the mixture is soaking, prepare your toppings: wash the berries, chop the nuts, and if desired, lightly sauté the spinach or kale in a pan until wilted.

        Once the oat mixture has thickened slightly, divide it into two bowls.

          Top each bowl with fresh berries, chopped nuts, and sautéed greens if using. Drizzle honey or maple syrup on top for a touch of sweetness, if desired.

            Serve immediately and enjoy this nutritious and filling high-protein breakfast bowl!
