Cottage Cheese with Avocado Bowl 

This cottage cheese and avocado bowl is for those of us who can’t get enough avocado toast in our lives. I say, ditch the toast and ensure you stay full by adding crisp veggies and an egg.

I mean, is there anything better than a savory cottage cheese bowl when you want to add extra protein to your life? I think not. There’s a reason I hope cottage cheese continues having its viral moment. 

How to Make Cottage Cheese Avocado Bowl

Ready to enjoy the quickest breakfast ever? This cottage cheese bowl is as easy to make as following these three simple steps:

  1. Prep
    Make a hard-boiled egg ahead to save time, or cook one in the pan over easy. It's up to you!
  2. Combine
    Add the cottage cheese to a bowl and top it with avocado, cucumber, and the egg.
  3. Enjoy!
    Season with a pinch of salt, and enjoy!

Benefits of Cottage Cheese Bowls

Cottage cheese bowls are packed with protein, making a satisfying meal that keeps you full for hours. And when you add an egg, that’s more protein! This cottage cheese avocado bowl contains 39 grams. It’s also packed with healthy fats, fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Amazing!
