Peach Pie Cottage Cheese Bowls is a delicious, high protein breakfast made with fresh, ripe summer peaches.
Peach Pie Cottage Cheese Bowls
Cottage cheese topped with fresh fruit is a quick and healthy breakfast or snack. It’s such a great combo, cottage cheese brands (like my favorite Good Culture) sell it that way. But if you look closely, there really isn’t much fruit in them. These Peach Pie Cottage Cheese Bowls, on the other hand, are loaded with fresh ripe summer peaches that are lightly caramelized with a little brown sugar and hint of cinnamon. With only about 2 grams of added sugar (the rest is from the fruit) and a whopping 31 grams of protein, these bowls keep you satisfied and are sure to make it into your weekly rotation.

Is cottage cheese and peaches good for you?
These cottage cheese bowls with fresh peaches are loaded with fiber and protein making it a healthy breakfast. It’s also lightly sweetened, letting most of the sugar come from the sweetness of the in season fruit. Enjoy this for breakfast or even as a snack, or dessert.
Variations:
- Try this with other stone fruit like nectarines or apricots
- If you don’t like cottage cheese, this would also be great over yogurt
- Make a peach ricotta toast by subbing out cottage cheese for ricotta and serving over toast.
