This Savory Cottage Cheese Bowl topped with veggies and pistachios is a protein-packed breakfast that will keep you full all morning.

Savory Cottage Cheese Bowl

I love cottage cheese but don’t always want to top it with fruit. These Savory Cottage Cheese Bowls with cucumbers, bell pepper, and tomatoes are a great solution. Perfect for breakfast or snack, they are an easy way to get more protein in your day. If you’re not a fan of the taste of cottage cheese, you can use yogurt instead. For more recipes that use cottage cheese, see my High Protein Bread and Strawberry Protein Smoothie. Cottage cheese is a great, healthy breakfast. While low in carbs and sugar, it’s very high in protein. A one-cup serving can have more than 25 grams of protein! Cottage cheese is also a good source of calcium, phosphorous, vitamin B12, and riboflavin.

What do you put in a savory cottage cheese bowl?

I fill this cottage cheese breakfast bowl with the colorful vegetables listed below and then top with pistachios for extra protein and crunch:

Persian cucumbers

Bell pepper

Grape tomatoes

Chives or scallion greens

Leftover roasted veggies

How to Meal Prep Cottage Cheese Breakfast Bowls:

These bowls are super simple to prep ahead. Just cut your veggies and pistachios the night before and store in separate food containers. Wait on cutting the tomatoes until right before eating as they can get soggy if cut too soon. You could even cut extra vegetables, so you have enough to make bowls for the next few days. When ready to eat, scoop cottage cheese into a bowl, cut your tomatoes, and top with vegetables, nuts, salt, and pepper.

Variations:

Use regular cucumbers or English cucumbers if you can’t find Persian.

Sub yellow or orange bell pepper instead of red.

Swap grape tomatoes for cherry tomatoes.

Replace pistachios with pine nuts or almonds if you prefer.

Use Greek yogurt if you’re not a cottage-cheese fan.

Top with everything bagel seasoning instead of salt.

The Ketogenic diet or “keto” diet is a low carbohydrate and high fat eating plan. Whilst there are variations of the keto diet, they all consist of high levels of fat, moderate protein and very low levels of carbohydrate. The ratio of these macronutrients is generally 55 to 60% fat, 30 to 35% protein and 5 to 10% carbohydrate.1 The table below provides the macronutrient percentages of some common cheese varieties. All contain either minimal or no carbohydrate and varying amounts of protein and fat. Any type of cheese can be included on the keto diet, as long as total dietary carbohydrate intake remains low enough to keep the body in nutritional ketosis (using stored fat instead of carbohydrate to fuel the brain and body). Cheese type Carbohydrate % Total Fat % Protein % Brie 0 31.5 18.2 Camembert 0 23.8 20.4 Mozzarella 0 22.1 22.2 Parmesan (fresh) 0 28.8 35.1 Feta cheese 0.4 22.3 16.6 Cheddar cheese (regular fat) 0.5 32.8 24.6 Cottage cheese 1.8 5.7 15.4 Source: Food Standards Australia New Zealand.

The keto diet may have benefits for weight loss, but it is important to seek professional advice to ensure all your dietary requirements are being met. An Accredited Practising Dietitian can provide expert advice to help you eat well when following a keto diet plan.
