I've been looking for a healthy and quick breakfast; something with protein that will get me through until lunch. Cottage cheese with fresh fruit has been a tasty answer. I've been eating about a half cup low-fat cottage cheese with a Clementine orange, strawberries or some of the frozen berries we put up last summer.
I let you in on another fantastic way to eat cottage cheese, mix it with salsa and eat it with tortilla chips. I know it sounds strange, but it's surprisingly yummy. Maybe I'll have to make that another post.
As a kid I couldn't stand cottage cheese. I'm not sure what's changed, but recently I've been craving it. I still don't like yogurt. Right now it is just a substitute for sour cream. How do you eat cottage cheese or yogurt?
If you are looking for a quick snack or breakfast you should give cottage cheese and fruit a try. I'm not even sure you need a recipe for this one. But here you go just to drive home how easy and quick this is:

ReplyDeleteThis looks great and so healthy! Love it!
ReplyDeleteA great starter! Too bad you don't like yogurt. We have been digging the Chobani greek style yogurt for some time now. Great start to a day as well.

YES! Nice job peeling that orange in one piece. This is a lovely little breakfast thanks for the inspiration! I forget how good simple cottage cheese and fruit is, plus good quality protein and fiber.
ReplyDeleteNice and simple fast food. Love your photos. I have a whole bag of clementines to go through (came as a freebie with my Whole Foods shopping on Saturday)... so now I know what to do with them :)
ReplyDeleteThis makes a great snack or small breakfast. Thanks for sharing!

Delicious!I love strawberries! I like it very much the way you've presented this dessert with all the nutritional values and stuff. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteAfter reading this post I saw cottage cheese on sale at the store... I took the plunge and ate it on a spicy taco, it was a good substitute for sour cream. Then I ate it with pineapple and strawberries for dessert. The taste and the texture are acceptable, but the look of little wet curd pebbles stewing in milky salt juice is still a bit off-putting. This has got me wondering about other foods I've black listed from childhood. Could lima beans be next??
ReplyDeleteI love it with blueberries!!!! Yum!
ReplyDeleteBut get the reduced sodium...much fresher taste!
Great way to get cottage cheese a bit more appealing!
