...yes that may be true, however I promise it makes a tasty, healthy and filling snack!
COTTAGE CHEESE
Some facts you should know about it:
1. It is a cheese, however it is not fermented. This is great for people who have a sensitivity towards fermented foods.
2. It is a low fat, protein filled food making it a good choice to keep you full for a while. Half a cup is only 100 calories, but has 15 grams of protein.
3. There are many different ways you can enjoy it. Have it savory or sweet- add some diced veggies or sliced fruit. Make it more interesting with spices or honey!
One thing to watch out for is that it can have a high sodium content as seen on the label here. You can get cottage cheese in non-fat, 1% or 2%.
Fruit wise I think cottage cheese tastes awesome with berries. If you're looking to make a veggie snack my personal favourite is with diced cucumber.
TIP: Try replacing your toast at breakfast with cottage cheese! Cut out some carbs and add some protein.
Hey guys!
So I want to tell you about this cool contraption called Yonanas...it basically turns frozen fruit into an awesome ice cream like treat. My family ordered ours from the shopping channel, and it arrived very quickly...I think within a week.
It is super easy to use. There is a motorized base and a chute you attach with a thing to push your fruit down the chute.
You need some frozen fruit that's been in the freezer for at least 24 hours and that's basically it.
We let our fruit thaw for about 3 minutes (we used bananas, blueberries, and mango chunks). Then we put 1 banana down the chute, a handful of blueberries, some mango, and another half banana. We plugged it in and turned it on and voila and frozen masterpiece (kind of)! We made a round with dark chocolate and bananas as well and it turned out great.
The only cons- it is SUPER loud (I guess not really a big con), and some of the fruit does get stuck inside the grinder part...cleaning it is not too bad but you do lose some fruit.
All in all it is pretty amazing; easy, fast, and the treats were delicious.
Hey guys!
So I ended up making the apple chips I had mentioned in my previous post...and they were delicious!
Here are some pics:
This was one HUGE honeycrisp apple, sprinkled with the teeniest amount of sugar and cinnamon.
Some of my slices were a bit thicker since I was in a crazy rush trying to slice the apple so I wouldn't be late to pick my sister up from school.
They were in the oven for about an hour and a half and the majority came out super crispy...like real chips :')
The thin ones were very crunchy and pretty sweet, while the slightly thicker ones were chewier and had a tangier/more apple-y taste to them, but both were super yummy.
Next time I wouldn't include any sugar since they were more than sweet enough.
PS- The one apple made about a cereal bowl sized serving. The bottom picture is only showing about a third of the total.
