Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese (2% or full-fat for bulking, 1% for cutting)
- 1/4 cup mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
- 2 tablespoons chopped almonds or walnuts
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon raw honey (optional for cutting phase)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of cinnamon
Instructions
- Add cottage cheese to a medium bowl and drizzle with vanilla extract.
- Gently fold the vanilla into the cottage cheese until evenly distributed.
- Arrange berries on one half, nuts on the other half.
- Sprinkle chia seeds and cinnamon over everything.
- Drizzle honey if desired (skip during cutting phases).
Notes
Use 1% cottage cheese and skip the honey during cutting. For bulking, go for full-fat cottage cheese and extra nuts. Add a sliced banana post-workout or stick to the base version pre-bedtime for sustained muscle nourishment.
