This Apple Crisp Yogurt and Cottage Cheese Bowl is the perfect macro-friendly breakfast or afternoon snack!
About This Recipe
The phrase apple crisp is a universal way to make your mouth water, I’m sure of it. And while I should make clear I don’t ACTUALLY think this passes for apple crisp (don’t want you thinking I’m that far down the macro hole that I don’t know up from down, or ice cream from cottage cheese), but it’s an apple-crisp inspired bowl. Starting with one of my all-time favorite breakfast combos: yogurt and cottage cheese.
After creating my Yogurt and Cottage Cheese Breakfast Bowl, I knew I needed to create more flavor combos and this apple crisp version is definitely a winner! The crisp apple, sweet granola and white chocolate pair perfectly with the creamy yogurt and cottage cheese base to give you a macro-friendly, high protein treat that will definitely work towards satisfying your sweet tooth!
And the best part about this bowl? It’s SO east! Just combine everything in a bowl and give it a sprinkle of cinnamon. That’s it! It’s low carb, and has enough protein to set your day up for success, and as we round the corner into Fall, I can’t think of a better way to start any day than with my favorite combination of apples and cinnamon!
And personally for me, I want zero cooking before lunch sooooooo……this bowl hits the spot!
Ingredients and Substitutions
- Low-fat cottage cheese: Knudsen low fat is my all time favorite cottage cheese but I know it’s not available everywhere. Good culture and Breakstone are other popular options!
- Greek yogurt: Two Good yogurt is amazing because the sugar and carbs are SO low, without the addition of any artificial sweeteners like sucralose but any greek yogurt you love works!
- Apples: I love to chop mine really small so I get lots of yummy pieces in every bite!
- Granola: My favorite go-to granola is Purely Elizabeth. Of course the macros of different granolas will vary. But when you’re using just 10 grams, the differences are pretty negligible. I wouldn’t stress.
- White chocolate chips: I NEVER use white chocolate in anything. But I ADORE it on the apple-pie carameled apple from Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory…. So it just felt right in here! 5 grams is just enough to make it fun but not enough to burn through your carbs and fat.
- Toppings: Cinnamon, flake salt and a drizzle of your favorite sugar free syrup!
Dietary Adaptations
GF/DF: Use gluten-free granola. I haven’t found a dairy-free cottage cheese option so feel free to just use dairy-free Greek yogurt for the entire bowl.
How to Make
Like I said, it really is as easy as combining all your ingredients and enjoying it. Start with your yogurt and cottage cheese, and then top with diced apples, granola, and chopped chocolate. Give it a sprinkle of cinnamon, a pinch of flake salt, and an optional drizzle of sugar free syrup. That’s it! And it’s so good.

Just like dessert. I actually prefer this over ice cream just based on taste
Delicious!!
Thank you for sharing the macros of this combination!
This is so delicious. Very pleasantly surprised. Great fix for my sweet tooth.
Is this something you can combine together as a meal prep before eating or should it be mixed once ready to eat?
Not lying but I have been eating this for my late night snack pre bed time for the last month every single night…. DELICIOUS!!!!
SO Yummy! My new go to!!
I love this recipe. I never thought to put yogurt and cottage cheese together. It’s a tasty dish!
Okay wait, this is SO GOOD! I never thought that mixing yogurt and cottage cheese would work but it totally does! I am also not a huge fan of white chocolate but is completely necessary in this recipe. Ifollowed the recipe exactly and would highly recommend you do too!
This is a fall favorite of mine. I use plain Greek yogurt and extra protein (nature Valley protein granola) granola and apples with a bit extra cinnamon. I’m excited to try your version. Might be a bit sweet for me but I’ll try! I also just put plain yogurt on regular apple crisp and it’s SOOO good.
