Creamy, crunchy, and packed with protein, this big bowl of nutrition is morning satisfaction. The sweet potato provides the whipped cottage cheese with plenty of natural sweetness. Both the whipped cheese and granola can be made up to 3 days in advance.

Protein pro
The preferred protein powder for granola and other baking needs is plant-based. Whey powder is suitable, but it tends to lend a drier texture to granola and a spongy texture to baked goods like muffins. Dairy-based powders are great at giving items like oatmeal and yogurt a protein boost.
