Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and Fresh Dish Foodie, Whitney, is starting it off right with Cottage Cheese Breakfast Bowls.
This recipe is sort of like a smoothie bowl, but uses protein packed cottage cheese in place of the fruit smoothie. You can customize to your liking with your favorite toppings. See our favorite combination in the recipe below:
