Berries, cottage cheese, oats – all the makings of a berry cheesecake! This cheesecake smoothie features protein from cottage cheese and doughiness from oats.
It wouldn’t be out of the relm of possibility for me to have actual cheesecake for breakfast, but this version is actually a twist on a Dough Boy Smoothie –
Berries…cottage cheese…oats – all the makings of a cheesy berry cheesecake in a bowl!

Claire @ Live and Love to Eat says
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!
ariel says
Ah! Love that shirt! Where can I get one?

Love the t-shirt!
Katie says
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. 😀
Katherine says
I remember you saying a couple times that you only drank cool coffee, not iced. When did you become a convert?
KathEats says
Well this is still cool because the ice melts quickly and becomes cool coffee. I still like it cool!
Baking 'n' Books says
Does the cottage cheese make it thicker versus milk or yogurt? What kind do you buy?
Lauren at Keep It Sweet says
Great start to a friday, even if it isn’t real cheesecake:-) Have a great day!
Hannah says
Hahaha, love that this is what you do, whereas I actually have eaten real cheesecake for breakfast 😉
Kristen @ Change of Pace says
Awesome shirt! I’ve got to try the blender thing with cottage cheese. Great alternative to yogurt!
Holly @ The Runny Egg says
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.
Jenny @ Fitness Health and Food says
mmm that smoothie sounds awesome!
I am loving that shirt! 🙂
Cait's Plate says
I’m obsessed with that spoon. And that shirt! Have a wonderful day at work!
Miranda @ Working Mom Works Out says
Hahaha! Love the shirt.
And Cheesecake for breakfast? I can get behind that! It looks awesome!
Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat says
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!
Elizabeth@The Sweet Life says
Love your shirt…and love that you now have unlimited bread at your disposal!
Katie @ Nourishing Flourishing says

I love the berry smoothies. It’s such a pretty color too!
Nikki T says
This shirt is perfect! So is that breakfast!
Amy says
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!
KathEats says
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!
Amy says
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!
Lindsay says
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
KathEats says
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.
Susan (Oliepants) says
Love that shirt! I could definitely go for some cheesecake oats in the morning.
Julie says
I LOVE that shirt! Where can I get one?!
Mandy the Mood Eater says
Holy Yum, lady – I’m trying that smoothie soon!!

Jess (Sweet Potato) says
Love the shirt!
Averie (LoveVeggiesandYoga) says
LOVE the TSHIRT!!!!!!
The possibilities are endless with the slogan, save a this, grab a that. Oh make more, please!

lynn @ the actor's diet says
cheesecake for breakfast sounds delicious. especialy in a bowl.
Natalia - a side of simple says
At first the thought of having cheesecake for breakfast made my Friday…but then I saw your shirt 🙂
birdie to be says
This looks & sounds so good!!!
Katie says
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
Mary Catherine says
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!
KathEats says
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.
Tori (Fresh Fruition) says
Yum! I’m a HUGE fan of cheesecake. I’ve got to try this! That shirt is awesome 😀
Shannon @ My Place In The Race says
HAHA! Love the t-shirt!
J3nn (Jenn's Menu and Lifestyle Blog) says
LOVE that shirt!! I’m sure low-carbers are groaning. 😆
Katherine says
O my word!!! Please, please tell me where you got that shirt?
Emilia says
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!
Lindsey says
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?
KathEats says
What was disastrous about it? They are not required.
Laurie says
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!
KathEats says
🙂
kaila @ healthy helper! says
LOVE THAT SHIRT!!! SO TRUE! Carbs are the BEST food group ever!
Ellie@fitforthesoul says
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.
KathEats says
Well the bakery isn’t open yet, and this week of training was an anomaly. Wait for today’s lunch – back to normal!
Ellie@fitforthesoul says
haha yeah but being around bread period, is hard for a girl! 😛
Annette @ EnjoyYourHealthyLife says
haha that shirt is AWESOMEsauce.
Justeen @ Blissful Baking says
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!
Abby says
This sounds like a great smoothie! 🙂 I’ve been on a major cottage cheese kick lately. Thanks for the new inspiration!
Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin says
I love that bloggers have found a way to make dessert into breakfast. Or breakfast into dessert? 😛
Ashley says
Ooooh, this sounds great!!!! 🙂 Love the light purple color!!
McKayla @ Green Groats says
Yum. That looks like my kind of breakfast! Awesome shirt!!!
Laura says
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??
KathEats says
What you see in the photo – a big bowl’s worth. Maybe 1.75 – 2 cups?
Laura says
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.

Alyssa says
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 🙁
KathEats says
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.
Nikki says
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?
KathEats says
I think chiaseedsdirect.com is the cheapest. I like them whole only!
Nikki says
You’re wonderful! I just ordered some and can’t wait to give some of your smoothies a whirl, among other things!
