Base
- 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
- ½ cup pumpkin puree (unsweetened)
Flavorings
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
Topping
- ¼ cup granola
Instructions
- Add cottage cheese and pumpkin to blender: Place 1 cup cottage cheese and ½ cup pumpkin puree into a high-speed blender to begin creating the creamy base of your breakfast bowl.
- Add honey, cinnamon, and vanilla: Pour in 1 tbsp honey, add ½ tsp cinnamon, and ¼ tsp vanilla extract to infuse the mixture with natural sweetness and warm spice notes.
- Blend until completely smooth: Blend on high speed for 30–45 seconds until the mixture is thick and creamy, scraping down the sides of the blender as needed to ensure an even texture.

Notes
- Use a high-speed blender for the smoothest texture.
- Chill the bowl for a few minutes before serving for an extra refreshing bite.
- Taste before adding more sweetener, as pumpkin puree can vary in natural sweetness.
- Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder to boost protein content without altering the flavor much.
- Substitute honey with maple syrup or agave for different sweetener options.
- Top with chopped nuts or seeds instead of granola for variety.
- Prepare the whipped mixture in advance and store in the fridge up to three days; just stir and add toppings before serving.
