When working out, the key is to keep the fat content low, to make it easy for your body to metabolize the protein and carbohydrates for glycogen replacement. If you are enjoying this after a workout or as a first meal of the day, go ahead and add that fat to help stabilize your blood sugars, and keep you full for longer.

Ingredients:
110g 2% Cottage cheese (I use Good Culture)
1 egg
50g Egg whites
1 scoop protein powder (1 scoop = about 21-25g)
100g fat free vanilla greek yogurt (I use Siggi’s or Kirkland brand)
60g Organic, fresh blueberries, divided (30 & 30 respectively)
8 drops Liquid Stevia
14g pumpkin seeds (pepitas) for a crunch! (Optional- ideally add these post-workout or for your morning breakfast)
* Use a scale to measure grams!
Instructions:
Combine cottage cheese, egg, egg whites, protein powder and Stevia and blend well.
When blended, spray ramekin(s) with avocado oil and fill ramekins 3/4 full.
Bake at 375 for 20 minutes. Allow to cool slightly, then top with yogurt and remaining blueberries. Sprinkle with nutmeg, cinnamon and pepitas, or leave as is. Enjoy with more fruit, and without the nuts/ seeds for a great pre-workout meal!
