This Citrus Lovers Cottage Cheese Bowl is a bright, creamy, and satisfying way to start the day. Blended with Florida Orange Juice, orange zest, honey, and vanilla, the cottage cheese becomes silky smooth with a fresh citrus flavor. Topped with Florida Orange segments, raspberries, chia seeds, and walnuts, it’s a colorful bowl with protein, fiber, and feel-good crunch in every bite.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Florida Orange Juice
- 1 1/2 cups low-fat (1% fat) cottage cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh grated orange zest
- 1 1/2 teaspoons honey
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 Florida Orange, segmented
- 1/2 cup fresh or thawed frozen raspberries
- 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts
- Date syrup (optional topping)
- Cacao nibs (optional topping)
Directions
-
In a food processor or blender, puree together the cottage cheese, Florida Orange Juice, zest, honey, and vanilla until silky smooth.
Pulse or stir in the chia seeds.
Divide the cottage cheese mixture into two bowls. Let stand 10 minutes to allow chia seeds to “gel.”
Top with the orange segments, raspberries, walnuts and, if using, a sprinkling of date syrup and/or cacao nibs. Serve.
Time-saving tip: Follow steps 1 – 3; cover and refrigerate overnight; top and enjoy in the morning. Or skip the pureeing for a bowl with lots of texture.
Serving tip: Pair with whole-grain toast or avocado toast.
