How to Make Them

Add cottage cheese, eggs, oats, baking powder, vanilla, and cinnamon to a blender.

2. Greek Yogurt Berry Breakfast Bowl

When you need breakfast in just a few minutes, a Greek yogurt bowl is hard to beat.

Start with plain Greek yogurt and add fresh berries, oats, chia seeds, chopped almonds, and your favorite nut butter.

  • Greek yogurt
  • Strawberries
  • Blueberries
  • Rolled oats
  • Chia seeds
  • Almond butter
  • Cinnamon

For extra texture, add a small handful of chopped walnuts.

The combination of creamy yogurt, juicy fruit, crunchy nuts, and chewy oats makes this breakfast feel much more exciting than a plain bowl of yogurt.
