This vanilla cottage cheese protein pot is a tasty and fun way to start the day.
Many people struggle to get adequate amounts of bioavailable protein to provide satiety, crush their cravings and prevent loss of lean muscle.
Cottage cheese with protein powder forms an excellent base to get your bioavailable protein along with calcium, iron, selenium, zinc, choline, and vitamins A, B2 and B5.
Make it your own with your choice of toppings, such as berries, nuts, and cacao nibs. You can also add a little bit of collagen for some extra glycine for joint health and improved sleep.
This recipe uses almond milk, but you can use any milk.
