Savory
- 2/3 cup cottage cheese

- 1 hard boiled egg, quartered
- 5-6 cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
- 1/4 cup cucumber, diced
- 1/4 cup sweet bell pepper, diced

- 1/4 cup granola
- sprinkle of toasted coconut and hemp hearts

Instructions
- Savory: cook egg(s) to your preference (see note). Season with pinches of salt and black pepper. Arrange cottage cheese in a bowl and top with ½ avocado, peeled and sliced or quartered egg, cherry tomatoes, cucumber and bell pepper. Garnish with chopped pistachios, bagel seasoning and a drizzle of olive oil and/or balsamic glaze.
- Sweet: arrange cottage cheese in a bowl. Top with peanut butter, banana, berries and granola. Garnish with toasted coconut, hemp hearts and a drizzle of honey.
Notes
Egg: I like to pop my egg in the air fryer to ‘hard boil’ it. SO easy. Place your egg(s) in the basket of an air fryer and cook at 250 degrees for 18 minutes for medium (pictured). Add or subtract a 1-2 minutes based on your desired doneness. Alternatively, you can use a fried egg, traditionally boiled egg or even scrambled eggs.
