Citrus & Ricotta Breakfast Bowls
Ricotta gets mixed with yogurt and orange zest, topped with whatever citrus you love, a sprinkle of hemp seeds, and a drizzle of honey and olive oil for a healthy, protein-packed breakfast perfect for winter!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup full-fat ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
- zest from half an orange clementine, mandarin, blood, cara cara, etc
- 2 small or 1 large orange or other citrus fruit of choice
- 1 Tablespoon shelled hemp seeds aka hemp hearts
- a drizzle each of extra virgin olive oil and raw honey
Instructions
- 1. Scoop yogurt and ricotta into a serving bowl, and stir them together with the orange zest. If using a larger citrus fruit like cara cara or navel oranges, grapefruit, or pomelo, only use the zest of about a quarter of the fruit (to yield 1/2 teaspoon, at most).
- 2. Peel and segment the citrus, and slice into bite sized pieces. Top ricotta mixture with citrus slices, hemp seeds, olive oil, and honey. Eat immediately.
Notes
This recipe yields enough for 1 person. If you're feeding a crowd just make several bowls at once or, for a pretty platter at brunch, multiply the recipe by 6 or 8 and build in a large shallow salad bowl, letting people scoop out a serving themselves.
