- 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
- ½ cup pumpkin puree (unsweetened)
- 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 of cottage cheese and ½ cup of unsweetened pumpkin puree into a high-speed blender to start creating the base of the breakfast bowl.
- Add honey, cinnamon, and vanilla: Pour in 1 tablespoon of honey (or maple syrup), sprinkle ½ teaspoon of cinnamon, and add ¼ teaspoon of vanilla extract to enhance the flavor with warmth and sweetness.
- Blend until completely smooth: Blend on high speed for 30 to 45 seconds until the mixture is thick, creamy, and smooth. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides as needed to ensure even blending.

Notes
- Use a high-speed blender for the smoothest texture possible.
- Chill the bowl for a few minutes before serving for a more refreshing experience.
- Taste the mixture before adding extra sweetener, as pumpkin puree natural sweetness can vary.
- For a higher protein option, consider adding a scoop of vanilla protein powder.
- Substitute honey with maple syrup or agave for different sweetener options.
- Top with chopped nuts or seeds instead of granola if preferred.
- Make ahead by blending ingredients and storing the mixture in the fridge for up to 3 days.
