Ingredients

1 servings
  • 1.5 cups 2% cottage cheese
  • 1.5 tsp everything bagel seasoning
  • 0.5 cup cucumber — sliced
  • 0.5 cup cherry tomatoes — halved
  • 2 tbsp red onion — minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill — chopped, for garnish

Steps

  2. Arrange the sliced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, and minced red onion over the cottage cheese.
  3. Sprinkle generously with everything bagel seasoning.
  4. Garnish with fresh chopped dill before serving.

Why This Works

This bowl delivers 36 grams of protein in just 311 calories, making it one of the most protein-efficient no-cook options available. The 1.5 cups of 2% cottage cheese provides the bulk of the protein (about 24g per cup) while keeping calories moderate. Everything bagel seasoning adds bold, savory flavor without adding calories—you get the bagel experience without the carbs. Fresh cucumber and tomatoes add crunch and volume, making the bowl feel substantial while keeping the macro ratio tight.

Make it Your Own

For an extra protein boost, add a sliced hard-boiled egg or a sprinkle of nutritional yeast. Swap the vegetables for bell peppers, radishes, or avocado slices. A drizzle of high-quality olive oil can add richness.

Quick Prep Tips

To save time, pre-chop your vegetables at the beginning of the week. Store them in airtight containers in the refrigerator, ready to assemble your bowl in minutes.
