Berries…cottage cheese…oats – all the makings of a cheesy berry cakecake!

Ahh what a great shirt! Luckily I think carb-phobia is on the way out. You are definitely the queen of oats. 😉
Have a great weekend!
Ah! Love that shirt! Where can I get one?
It’s a great harvest shirt, so I’d have to get one for you. Not sure if I’m ready to be in the shirt biz, but maybe!
Aw darn!
I was just going to ask where I could get that shirt. Perhaps at a different GH?
Yes, love that shirt too!!
I want that t-shirt…NOW! Hilarious 😀
I knew not buying cottage cheese would be a mistake. This looks soooo good! Love the cheesecake aspect. 🙂
That smoothie looks great! Plus, I love the purple color because purple is my fave color! 🙂 That shirt is awesome!
another great breakfast! yummy!! will have to try the cold version as i have only done the one on the stove 🙂
yes that shirt is so awesome!
Mmmm I love mixing cottage cheese in with my oats. I also want to try ricotta one day too.. bet it would be just as yummy!
Love the t-shirt!
LOVE the shirt! Wish I had one! And yum, that smoothie looks great. I need to buy some cottage cheese and I’ll be all set to make one of my own. 😀
I remember you saying a couple times that you only drank cool coffee, not iced. When did you become a convert?
Well this is still cool because the ice melts quickly and becomes cool coffee. I still like it cool!
Does the cottage cheese make it thicker versus milk or yogurt? What kind do you buy?
Great start to a friday, even if it isn’t real cheesecake:-) Have a great day!
Hahaha, love that this is what you do, whereas I actually have eaten real cheesecake for breakfast 😉
Awesome shirt! I’ve got to try the blender thing with cottage cheese. Great alternative to yogurt!
Hilarious shirt!
I’d love a piece of cheesecake for breakfast — although I’d probably want to go back to bed after the sugar crash.
mmm that smoothie sounds awesome!
I am loving that shirt! 🙂
I’m obsessed with that spoon. And that shirt! Have a wonderful day at work!
Hahaha! Love the shirt.
And Cheesecake for breakfast? I can get behind that! It looks awesome!
Haha love the shirt! Strawberry cheesecake sounds like a delicious breakfast to me – it’s rainy here (and it has been all week) but berries make life better!
Love your shirt…and love that you now have unlimited bread at your disposal!
I have a feeling those shirts will go like hotcakes 😉 Pun very much intended… 🙂
that shirt is AWESOME!
Lovin’ that shirt “Save a Cow Eat a Carb” I want one! 🙂
Here I am this morning, uber tired and reading blogs,
I read “Cheesecake for Breakfast” and immediately wake up,
WAIT WHATT ?! I MUST TRY THIS !!
I would buy that shirt too!!!!!!!
I love your shirt, Kath! I feel like that should be my life motto 🙂
I love the berry smoothies. It’s such a pretty color too!
This shirt is perfect! So is that breakfast!
Kath I have a question- do you ever add ricotta cheese to any of your oatmeal creations (SIAB or regular oat bowls)? I have some leftover for a recipe and I’m trying to figure out what to do with it…. Thanks!
I have never really been fond of ricotta. Until I found a grass-fed kind at Whole Foods. It was AMAZING but it was also $6 a container, so I don’t really buy it because it’s super expensive. But since my cottage cheese is $5 I should switch it up sometime!
Kath I have a question- do you ever add ricotta cheese to any of your oatmeal creations (SIAB or regular oat bowls)? I have some leftover from a recipe I made earlier this week and I’m trying to figure out what to do with it…. Thanks!
Hey Kath!
Have you ever tried eating oats that you’ve cooked in a crock pot over night? It’s my favorite way to eat them and was just wondering if you’ve ever given that method a shot. I have yet to try your overnight oats, but plan to soon! 🙂
Have a good day,
Lindsay
No mostly because my crockpot is a PAIN to clean!! I’ve done huge dutch oven servings, but not crockpot. Sometime when I have a brunch I’ll try it.
Love that shirt! I could definitely go for some cheesecake oats in the morning.
I LOVE that shirt! Where can I get one?!
Holy Yum, lady – I’m trying that smoothie soon!!
Just like everybody else who commented, I LOVE that shirt too!
Great shirt!! and this dough boy sounds great!!
Anything with cheesecake is right up my alley!
I’m coming over for breakfast!
I love iced coffee, especially with a hint of raspberry and vanilla!

Love the shirt!
LOVE the TSHIRT!!!!!!
The possibilities are endless with the slogan, save a this, grab a that. Oh make more, please!
And your smoothie/cheesecake creation…that is a 100% lovely breakfast, oh yeah!
cheesecake for breakfast sounds delicious. especialy in a bowl.
At first the thought of having cheesecake for breakfast made my Friday…but then I saw your shirt 🙂
This looks & sounds so good!!!
LOVE the addition of the cottage cheese to the dough boy, I bet it is even better! Looks good!
Love the shirt! how cute!
Have a great day!!! xoxo
Hi Kath! Can you recommend a good scale? I think the one I have is finally dying. I don’t need anything fancy – just one for weight. There are so many out there, it’s confusing!
Food scale? I have an Eat Smart brand one that I like a lot. It’s little and lightweight.
If you mean Body scale, I’d just go to Bed, Bath + Beyond and pick one. I don’t own one of those anymore.
Yum! I’m a HUGE fan of cheesecake. I’ve got to try this! That shirt is awesome 😀
HAHA! Love the t-shirt!
LOVE that shirt!! I’m sure low-carbers are groaning. 😆
O my word!!! Please, please tell me where you got that shirt?
Mmmm, I think I’m going to steal your idea for tomorrow morning breakfast and give it a shot! Looks very yummy and high protein, too 🙂
I still need the kale shirt!
I tried to make your dough boy smoothie a couple weeks ago but didn’t have any chia seeds on hand and the smoothie was a disaster. I noticed that this recipe calls for them too. Do they make a big difference in making the smoothie thick? Any substitution ideas?
What was disastrous about it? They are not required.
Great Harvest birthday….
I met some friends for breakfast this morning to celebrate a close friends birthday. (had the most amazing oatmeal topped with creme brulee but that’s beside the point). I found a book to give her for her birthday called “friendship bread”. Looked like a good book so I bought it and added two loaves of Great Harvest. She loved it!
🙂
LOVE THAT SHIRT!!! SO TRUE! Carbs are the BEST food group ever!
oh yes. this is an amazing breakfast I can tell. so do you really feel like you’re eating more carbs b/c of the bakery Kath? for some people, I hear that when they’re in a bakery all day, they eat less of it. But when I worked at one years ago, all I did was eat pastries muuahhaha.
Well the bakery isn’t open yet, and this week of training was an anomaly. Wait for today’s lunch – back to normal!
haha yeah but being around bread period, is hard for a girl! 😛
haha that shirt is AWESOMEsauce.
Love the shirt 🙂 And what an amazing breakfast! The berry cheesecake dough boy smoothie sounds delicious – I’m going to go out and buy some cottage cheese so I can make this tomorrow morning!
This sounds like a great smoothie! 🙂 I’ve been on a major cottage cheese kick lately. Thanks for the new inspiration!
I love that bloggers have found a way to make dessert into breakfast. Or breakfast into dessert? 😛
Ooooh, this sounds great!!!! 🙂 Love the light purple color!!
Yum. That looks like my kind of breakfast! Awesome shirt!!!
I made it this morning. YUM!!! I see that you say that its for 2 servings, but I took 2 servings out of the blender and STILL have 2 cups of yumminess left over. How big are your servings??
What you see in the photo – a big bowl’s worth. Maybe 1.75 – 2 cups?
Ah – that’s why. lol I have been on a super restrictive diet, so that is a huge amount of food at once right now.
Thanks for posting all your yummy breakfasts! I look forward to trying more. I just discovered your site a few days ago.

Do you do anything special to keep your smoothies from separating?? Last time I tried the Dough Boy smoothie it separated before I could eat it the next day 🙁
Oh you should never blend it ahead of time! It will definitely separate. You are supposed to mix it, let it sit overnight, and blend in the morning.
Hey, quick question – what type of chia seeds do you use? I was at Whole Foods and found a bag, but it was a small one for $21 wow! I was looking online, but there are so many options. Do you have any preference or guidance? Is there a big difference between brands?
Do you use milled ones or just whole ones?
I think chiaseedsdirect.com is the cheapest. I like them whole only!
You’re wonderful! I just ordered some and can’t wait to give some of your smoothies a whirl, among other things!
