FAQ
How many servings does this meal prep box make?
The recipe makes two servings, with the ingredients divided between two containers.
How long can the meal prep boxes be stored?
Keep them refrigerated and preferably eat them within 2–3 days. Store granola separately to help it stay crisp.
Can I make this recipe without honey?
Yes. Omit the honey or use an unsweetened alternative if preferred.
Is this recipe suitable for people managing blood sugar?
It includes protein, berries, chia seeds, and fats, but individual blood-glucose responses vary. People with diabetes should follow their personalised dietary advice and monitor their response if needed.
Can I use frozen berries?
Yes, but thaw and drain them first. They may release extra liquid and make the cottage cheese and granola less firm.
What can I use instead of cottage cheese?
Plain unsweetened Greek-style yogurt or a suitable dairy-free alternative can be used, although the texture and nutrition will differ.
Are the berries listed twice?
The ingredient list includes mixed berries as well as separate strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries. Use either 1 cup of mixed berries or the listed individual berries, unless you intentionally want a larger batch.
Does this recipe contain common allergens?
Yes. Cottage cheese contains milk, and almond butter contains tree nuts. Check the labels of granola and other packaged ingredients for additional allergens.

I like how this recipe keeps everything separate in the container—the granola stays crunchy and the berries don't make the cottage cheese watery. The chia seeds and almond butter add a nice twist. It's a straightforward meal prep idea that seems easy to assemble. I'd probably add a bit more honey or fruit if I want it sweeter, but that's just personal preference.
