Savory Cottage Cheese Breakfast Bowls

This is a savory breakfast instead of a sweet one, leaning on cottage cheese as the protein base with fresh vegetables on top instead of fruit and granola. It's become a good option for mornings when I don't want something sweet.

Cottage cheese has a solid amount of protein on its own, which makes this filling without needing eggs or meat. Everything bagel seasoning adds a lot of flavor for very little effort, since it's really just a sprinkle.

This is one of the few no-cook breakfasts in my rotation that isn't oats or yogurt-based, which makes it a nice change of pace. Avocado added fresh keeps it from browning in the container.

The recipe card has the full ingredient breakdown for the entire ten-portion batch. Assemble and refrigerate right away, then eat what you'll finish within four days. Keep the avocado separate until serving.
