PCOS Friendly Gluten Free Tomato Basil Cottage Cheese Bowl
Bright, juicy cherry tomatoes and fragrant torn basil piled over a creamy base make this bowl feel like summer in a dish — and it comes together in minutes with zero cooking required. Full-fat cottage cheese is the real star here, delivering a satisfying hit of protein and healthy fat that helps support stable blood sugar levels, which is exactly what matters when you're managing hormonal health. The olive oil drizzle adds richness while contributing anti-inflammatory monounsaturated fats, and the optional balsamic glaze brings just enough sweetness without loading the bowl with refined sugar. Everything in this recipe is naturally gluten free, so there's no swapping or substituting needed — just straightforward, wholesome ingredients working together. A pinch of red pepper flakes gives it a subtle kick if you're into that, and the flaky sea salt makes every bite pop. It works beautifully as a light lunch, a high-protein snack, or even a quick breakfast when you want something savory and nourishing without any fuss.
