  • Cottage cheese is one of the best lean protein sources for women. It's slow-digesting, so it keeps you fuller longer.
  • Berries add fiber, antioxidants, and natural sweetness without spiking blood sugar.
  • Chia seeds provide omega-3s, which support brain health and help reduce inflammation.

Customization Ideas

Make it yours with simple swaps depending on your macro needs:

  • Add crunch: Sprinkle granola, slivered almonds, or protein puffs

  • Switch fruit: Use blackberries, raspberries, or sliced banana

  • Extra protein: Stir in a scoop of vanilla whey or casein protein powder

  • Dairy-free: Swap in a plant-based cottage cheese or high-protein yogurt

Meal Prep Tip

If you're someone who skips breakfast because you're in a rush, prep this bowl the night before. Layer the ingredients in a mason jar or meal prep container. Keep the chia seeds and honey on top to stir in later. Done.
