Quick and Easy
I've been experimenting with oatmeal and cottage cheese finding easy ways to make them, here are the ones that I love so far.
1 Cup Cottage Cheese + 1 Can Tuna
This recipe has low carbs + high protein. It is AMAZING. If you like fish the taste is great. Plus the calories on both ingredients are very low.
2 Slices of Whole Wheat Bread [Toasted] + Chopped Baby Carrots [4] + TSP of Cocoa Powder + 1/2 Cup of Cottage Cheese
This sandwich tastes great, it is less than 200 calories depending on the bread you choose. I used Healthy Styles 35 calorie per slice bread, it tastes great, has low calories, no fat, low sugar, and surprisingly low carbs. Great texture too with the carrots.
2 Slices of Whole Wheat Bread [Toasted] + 2 TBSP of Peanut Butter + 1/2 Cup of Cottage Cheese
If you get chunky peanut butter, the texture is unbeatable. The one downside to this meal is that 2 TBSP of peanut butter runs in the 190 calorie range. But don't worry too much because peanut butter has good fats. Just keep the amount down. 2 Tablespoons is about the size of a golfball.
1/2 Cup of Cottage Cheese + 4 TSP of Granola + 1 TSP of Cinnamon + 1 TSP of Cocoa
The texture is very good with the crunchy granola. The granola also adds a very sweet topping. It literally is like some fancy desert.
.75 Cup of Oatmeal + 1 TSP of Cinnamon + 1 TSP of Cocoa
Adds a small bit of taste to oatmeal. Nothing great, but has anti-oxidant goodness from the cocoa and hint of sugary taste from the cinnamon.
.75 Cup of Oatmeal + 2 TBSP of Peanut Butter
You've never tasted oatmeal unless you've had it with peanut butter, the mixture of taste is incredible. There is no way to describe how good it is unless you have it.
Right now I'm looking for alternative ways to eat oatmeal without peanut butter to cut down on my calories. I'll be sure to post them.
