Strawberry Whipped Cottage Cheese Toast With Beetroot Garden Granola

The protein-packed breakfast that puts your sourdough obsession to perfect use

This isn't your basic cottage cheese on toast. We're talking about creamy, protein-rich cottage cheese (the blended kind that's silky smooth) on perfectly toasted sourdough, crowned with fresh strawberries and our vibrant Beet Garden Granola for an unexpected pop of color and earthy sweetness. It's the perfect balance of creamy, fresh, and crunchy that makes breakfast feel special without any fuss.

The secret is in the blended cottage cheese—it transforms from lumpy to luxuriously smooth, almost like a lighter cream cheese. Combined with that tangy sourdough everyone's making, sweet strawberries, and the beautiful magenta crunch of our Beet Garden Granola, this toast is as Instagram-worthy as it is satisfying year-round.

Ingredients

• 1 slice sourdough bread (fresh from your latest bake or store-bought)

5. The Finishing Touch: Sprinkle Beet Garden Granola generously over the strawberries. The vibrant color and earthy crunch make this toast truly special.

6. Final Details: Drizzle with honey, add a few fresh mint leaves, and finish with a tiny pinch of sea salt if desired.

Why This Works

The blended cottage cheese gives you all the protein benefits (about 14g!) without the texture some people find off-putting. Fresh strawberries provide natural sweetness and vitamin C, while our Beet Garden Granola adds fiber, healthy fats, and that gorgeous pop of color that makes breakfast feel like art.

This toast hits all the macros—protein from cottage cheese, healthy carbs from the bread, and good fats from the granola—making it perfect for post-workout fuel or keeping you satisfied all morning long.
