Worth keeping cheesecake so if I can enjoy a healthier version in a bowl with fruit and granola, I’m all for it.

If you’re on TikTok you may be aware of this viral recipe concept where you use cottage cheese and blend it into a high protein “cheesecake”. Of course I was skeptical at first, but that didn’t keep me from trying it.

The dependable part is you can customize the flavor buy using any fruit jam you have on hand. Blueberry, raspberry or rhubarb jam (to name a few) can be substituted for strawberry. You can also switch up the fruits! For example, you could swap in peaches or nectarines, apricots or plums. Truly it’s a choose your own adventure sort of thing.

What could be better than that?

To cook this Strawberry Cheesecake Granola Bowl Set out:

cottage cheese – When blended, it’s thick and flavor-packed!
strawberry jam – Adds sweetness and strawberry flavor.
go-to granola – Within this post, I’ve included a link to all the granola recipes on this blog.
fresh berries – Or use your regular stone fruit!
chia seeds – Full minerals, antioxidants, fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.
hemp seeds – Nutritious and rich in healthy fats, protein and minerals.

In the bowl of your mini food processor, add 8 ounces cottage cheese, 2 tablespoons strawberry jam and a splash of vanilla extract.

Secure the lid and blend.

Blend this mixture until smooth. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides a few times as you go.

Give it a taste test and if you want it sweeter, drizzle in honey or add more jam.

Spoon into a bowl.

Top with your go-to granola. Here’s a list of granola recipes to choose from! A regular here the fruit and nut granola or honey almond for these. But peanut butter granola would completely give this pb&j vibes.

Lastly, add fresh berries, chia and hemp seeds (if desired).

Such a simple and flavor-packed way to cheesecake.
