Simple Greek Yogurt & Cottage Cheese Bowl with Protein Powder and Blueberries

Backstory/nutritional insight: A quick, high-protein lunch I developed for busy keto days—keeps carbs modest while boosting protein with low-carb powder and a small amount of berries for flavor.

Ingredients (serves 1)

• 1/2 cup full-fat plain Greek yogurt
• 1/2 cup full-fat cottage cheese
• 1 scoop unsweetened low-carb vanilla protein powder (whey or plant-based)
• 2 tbsp fresh blueberries (about 6–8 berries)
• 1 tsp chia seeds or crushed flaxseed (optional, for texture and fiber)
• 1 tsp MCT oil or 1 tsp olive oil (optional, for extra fat)
• Pinch of cinnamon (optional)
• Sweetener to taste (erythritol, stevia, monk fruit) — optional

Instructions

1. In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt and cottage cheese; stir until mostly smooth.
2. Whisk in the protein powder until evenly incorporated.
3. Fold in chia or flax if using, then add MCT/olive oil and sweetener/cinnamon to taste.
4. Top with blueberries (keep to 2 tbsp to control carbs).
5. Serve immediately.

Flavor profile: Creamy and mildly tangy with vanilla protein sweetness and a bright pop from blueberries.

Keto-friendly explanation: Full-fat dairy and optional MCT/olive oil provide fats; low-carb protein powder raises protein without added carbs. Blueberries kept to a minimal serving to maintain keto-friendly carb levels.

A solid keto meal worth sharing. Publish it so the keto community can enjoy it too.
