Get the recipe: Cottage Cheese with Fruit Bowls
Fast and simple - this easy recipe can be made in the matter of minutes and with just about any fruit you happen to have on hand. Cottage cheese has a great thick texture which makes it easy for baby to use a spoon (or their hands) to eat.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup full-fat cottage cheese
- 1/8 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tbsp chopped fruit, strawberries, blueberries or peaches
Instructions
- Spoon cottage cheese into a bowl.
- Sprinkle with cinnamon and chopped fruit.
- Serve and enjoy.
Notes
Sweeten it Up: if the cottage cheese is a little too tart for your little one, you can use frozen fruit instead of fresh fruit to give this breakfast a little more sweetness. Simply defrost the frozen fruit before chopping the fruit up, making sure to use both of the fruit’s natural juices and the chopped fruit when serving.
Yields: 1 serving
Age: 9+ months. I labeled this as a 9+ month recipe because I showed bigger pieces of fruit in the photos, but you can easily make this recipe for 6+ months if you chop the fruit into 'pea' size pieces.
