Ingredients

  • 150 grams cottage cheese
  • 1 boiled egg
  • ¼ avocado
  • handful unsalted nuts
  • 1 protein lentil cake (or rice cake)
  • handful blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon Chia seeds
  • handful raspberries

Instructions

  • Boil the egg - The ultimate boiled egg with runny yolk. Boil a pan of water, add the egg to the boiling water and boil for 6 ½ minutes. Plunge the egg into cold water to stop from cooking. Peel the egg and slice in half
  • Prep the base: Add the cottage cheese to a bowl and spread it out slightly.
  • Add the protein: Slice the boiled egg and place it on top of the cottage cheese
  • Layer the toppings: Arrange the sliced avocado, blueberries, and raspberries around the bowl.
  • Add crunch: Sprinkle over the nuts and chia seeds.
  • Finish: Serve with a lentil cake on the side for extra crunch and protein.

Notes

• Swap the nuts for seeds if you need a nut‑free option.
• Any berries work here — use what’s fresh or in season.
• Add extra chia seeds or hemp hearts for more protein and healthy fats.
• Serve with a lentil cake or whole‑grain crackers for a more filling meal.
• Hard‑boiled eggs can be prepped ahead to make this bowl even faster.
