The quiet high-protein hero of the fridge, dressed up: creamy cottage cheese with fresh berries, toasted almonds and a spoon of flax. Five minutes for a breakfast or snack that punches well above its calorie count.
Ingredients
- 250g cottage cheese
- 100g blueberries
- 100g strawberries, halved
- 1 tbsp almonds, chopped
- 1 tbsp flaxseed, a drizzle of honey
Method
- Divide the cottage cheese between two bowls.
- Top with the blueberries and strawberries.
- Scatter over the almonds and flaxseed, and finish with a little honey.
Why it works
Cottage cheese is one of the most protein-dense foods for its calories, and it comes packaged with calcium — the pairing that makes it doubly useful for bone health and weight management. The berries and almonds add antioxidants and a little healthy fat without turning a light bowl into a heavy one.
