Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 2 minutes
Servings: 2 servings

Ingredients

  • ½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats or steel-cut oats, cooked according to pkg
  • 2 medium Bananas split horizontally
  • 4 to 6 large strawberries sliced
  • 1 medium nectarine diced
  • ½ cup cottage cheese
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon honey or agave nectar (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon almonds crushed or sliced
  • You can also stir unflavored protein powder in the oats, yogurt or cottage cheese.

Instructions

  • Cook the oats according to package directions. I like to cook them in the microwave and let them cool while I get everything else ready. Or, you can make overnight oats with old-fashioned rolled oats. (You can use steel-cut oats if you prefer.) *See notes for overnight oats
  • Slice the bananas horizontally and place in a bowl.
  • Place half of the oats in the center of the sliced banana in each dish.
  • Add half of the yogurt and cottage cheese to the top of the banana.
  • Top with sliced fruit, honey, and nuts. Serve immediately.

Notes

You can make traditional overnight oats if you want or you can simply add 1 cup almond milk to 1/2 cup rolled oats and refrigerate them overnight. 
Here is my traditional overnight oat recipe
 
 
Instructions
  • In a mason jar or other container with a lid, add the oats, milk, yogurt, and honey, if desired. Add cinnamon if desired. Stir. Seal.
  • Store overnight in the refrigerator.
  • In the morning, stir (eat cold or heat in the microwave)

    I am a breakfast eater and rarely eat lunch so I need something hearty. I totally loved this oatmeal bowl and never thought of adding cottage cheese on top, but that added creaminess was delicious.
