Do peaches and cottage cheese go together?

Yes, they do—beautifully! Cottage cheese's creamy, somewhat sour flavor is counterbalanced by the luscious sweetness of peaches. Combined with cinnamon and vanilla, the result tastes like peach pie in a bowl, perfect for breakfast or a healthy dessert.

What to put in a cottage cheese bowl?

Add fruits like bananas, berries, or peaches after the cottage cheese. Layer with cinnamon, a sweetener like maple syrup, and a crunchy topping like granola or nuts. For more ideas, check out our Cottage Cheese Peanut Butter Mousse or savory options like Onion & Gruyère Cottage Cheese Bake .

Are cottage cheese bowls good for you?

Definitely. Cottage cheese is packed with protein, calcium, and essential nutrients. When you add fruits and whole ingredients, it becomes a well-balanced, nutrient-rich meal. It’s ideal for muscle recovery, energy, and staying full longer.

Do you leave the skins on peaches for peach pie?

You can! Leave the ripe, thin-skinned peaches on for extra nutrients and fiber. If you prefer a smoother texture or are making bowls for kids, you can peel them using a quick blanch-and-chill method.
