Ingredient Benefits
🧀 Cottage Cheese
Cottage cheese is rich in high-quality protein and calcium, supporting muscle repair, bone health, and steady energy. Its creamy texture makes it a perfect base for both sweet and savory bowls. Choose a 2% or whole milk version for a balance of creaminess and satiety.
🍓 Mixed Berries
Berries are full of antioxidants, fiber, and vitamin C, supporting glowing skin, immune health, and balanced digestion. Their natural sweetness enhances the dish without added sugar, while their bright colors signal their rich phytonutrient content.
🥣 Low-Carb Granola
(Your homemade granola keeps things wholesome!)
Low-carb granola adds crunch, fiber, and healthy fats without refined sugars. Depending on your recipe, it may include nuts and seeds — offering minerals, plant protein, and steady energy. It also provides a satisfying contrast to the creaminess of the cottage cheese.
🥜 Peanut Butter
Peanut butter brings creamy richness and healthy monounsaturated fats, which support heart health and satiety. It's also a plant-based source of protein and magnesium — essential for mood and muscle function. Use natural peanut butter for the best, clean flavor.
🍁 Maple Syrup
Just a touch of maple syrup adds warmth and gentle sweetness, along with trace minerals and antioxidants. It complements both the berries and the peanut butter, creating a balanced, naturally sweet flavor profile.
🌿 Cinnamon
Cinnamon adds a cozy aroma and enhances natural sweetness without sugar. It contains polyphenols that help balance blood sugar, support circulation, and reduce inflammation — making it as functional as it is delicious.
