Hummingbird Cottage Cheese Bowl
This Hummingbird Cottage Cheese Bowl is a breakfast you’ll actually look forward to!
It’s a tropical-inspired, high-protein twist on the classic hummingbird cake—with a creamy, whipped texture that tastes a little like frosting (thanks to the vanilla protein powder!).
The cottage cheese and protein powder give you a muscle-loving protein boost that also keeps you feeling full, while the bran flakes add a satisfying crunch and fiber.
It’s sweet, nostalgic, and ready in minutes—aka breakfast magic.

Ingredients
Directions
- Mash banana in a bowl until smooth.
- Add cottage cheese, protein powder, and cinnamon. Whip with a fork until light and well combined.
- Fold in the pineapple.
- Top with bran flakes and coconut (leave off if meal prepping and add right before serving)
- Enjoy your bowl!
Notes
- No protein powder? Add ~2 tbsp Greek yogurt to keep the protein up and texture creamy.
- Dairy-free? Use a plant-based cottage cheese and vegan protein powder.
- No bran flakes? Try puffed quinoa, low-sugar granola, or crushed Weetabix for a similar crunch + fiber profile.
- No banana? Swap in ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce or mashed mango—still gives natural sweetness and tropical vibes.
- Want to sub coconut flakes? Try a 2 tbsp of pecans instead!
