Ingredients You’ll Need
Be sure to visit the recipe card below for full ingredient amounts and recipe instructions!
- Cottage Cheese – you can use non-fat, 2%, or 4% cottage cheese, whatever you prefer!
- Honey: We use our own honey, straight out of the beehives for us! As beekeepers, we have plenty of raw honey so I try to use it in all my recipes instead of sugar. I’d recommend trying a local farmers market to find the best raw honey in your area. Or else, raw organic honey is the next best thing.
- Lemon Juice – gives this breakfast a little pop of acidity, it’s so delicious with the cinnamon too, such a great flavor combination.
- Cinnamon: which gives this spread a subtle spice-y flavor! I love to add in a pinch for extra warmth.

Additions and Substitutions
Yes, you can substitute out the honey in this recipe for agave nectar or maple syrup. Agave has a similar texture and consistency to honey, while maple syrup is slightly runnier.
You can omit the cinnamon if you prefer.
Blend in frozen fruit to get a sweeter taste. Frozen blueberries or mangoes would be a great addition!

Recipe FAQs
You can use any variety of cottage cheese you prefer – non-fat, 1%, 2%, or a 4% fat cottage cheese. They all whip very well in the food processor.
You can whip cottage cheese in a high-speed blender, or you can use a regualr blender. If your blender siezes up, you can add more lemon juice to thin it out.
