...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 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.
