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.

• Servings: 1 (easily multiplied)

• Dietary: Vegetarian, Gluten-Free Option, High Protein

• Best For: Quick breakfast, post-workout fuel, any-day treat

• Protein: ~20g per serving

Ingredients

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

• 1/2 cup cottage cheese (whipped until smooth)

• 4-5 fresh white strawberries, sliced

• 2-3 tablespoons Victory Dance Foods Beet Garden Granola

• 1-2 teaspoons honey

• Fresh mint leaves for garnish

• Pinch of sea salt (optional)

Instructions

1. Blend the Cottage Cheese: In a small food processor or blender, whip cottage cheese until smooth and creamy, about 30-60 seconds. This creates that perfect spreadable texture.

2. Toast the Sourdough: Toast your sourdough until golden brown and crispy. That tangy flavor pairs beautifully with the creamy cottage cheese.

3. Assemble the Base: Generously spread the blended cottage cheese across the warm toast, creating an even layer.

4. Add the Strawberries: Arrange sliced strawberries on top, slightly overlapping for visual appeal.

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.

Storage Note: Best enjoyed immediately, but blended cottage cheese keeps in the fridge for up to 3 days—perfect for meal prep!

Why This Works

Blending cottage cheese creates a smooth, creamy base that spreads easily over toast. Fresh strawberries bring bright sweetness and color, while our Beet Garden Granola® adds crunch and a vibrant pop of pink-red that makes this breakfast look as good as it tastes.

Each layer plays its part: the toast offers a sturdy base, the creamy spread balances with juicy fruit, and the granola ties it all together with texture and flavor. It’s a simple build that feels elevated enough for brunch but quick enough for any morning.
