Cottage Cheese with Peaches High Protein Breakfast

This simple cottage cheese recipe with fresh peaches is the ultimate high-protein, no-fuss breakfast or snack. With just a few simple ingredients, it delivers a creamy texture, a satisfying crunch, and plenty of flavor with around 14 grams of protein per serving!

I’ve been making this on repeat during stone fruit season because it’s just so easy to throw together. If you’ve seen the TikTok “make cottage cheese look like dessert” trend, this is my version, no ice cream makers or long ingredient lists required. It’s light, summery, and keeps blood sugar levels happy thanks to a balance of protein, fiber, and healthy fats. If you love easy high-protein breakfasts like my Cottage Cheese Chocolate Protein Mousse or High Protein Burrito Bowls you’re going to love this one.

You can prep the cottage cheese mixture in advance and keep it in the fridge for busy mornings, then top with your fresh juicy peaches, a little granola, and a drizzle of honey right before serving. It also makes a great healthy snack when you’re craving something sweet but still want to hit your macros.

Cottage Cheese & Peaches Ingredients & Favorite Toppings

• Cottage Cheese. I recommend using a creamy cottage cheese like Good Culture for the best flavor and texture. Look for at least 14–16g protein per ½ cup for extra protein.
• Fresh Peaches. Fresh juicy peaches are the star, but you can sub nectarines or plums when they’re in season.
• Granola. Use a gluten-free brand with simple ingredients. I love Purely Elizabeth granola personally. You can also add chia seeds or pumpkin seeds for a little extra fiber and crunch.
• Honey. Go with a drizzle of honey or hot honey if you like a little kick. You can also use maple syrup if you prefer.
• Cinnamon. Optional but adds that warm peach cobbler vibe.

Tips & Tricks

• ​If you prefer a creamy texture, simply whip the cottage cheese in a food processor until smooth.
• Swap out peaches for plums, nectarines or berries for variety.
• Want even more protein? Double the amount of cottage cheese for a snack that has almost 30 grams of protein!
