A Great Protein Snack!

Someone asked me once, "What is a great protein snack?"

They did not like my answer. One of the best protein snacks out there is low fat cottage cheese! Personally, I'm not a huge fan. Neither was the person who asked me. But when we are trying to reach our weight goal, we do what it takes. After all, for many it was the choices of great taste that led to our health issues, so there may need to be some choices of "not so great" taste to get us back where we belong.

But does it have to be all that bad? I found a little trick that keeps things healthy but vastly improves the taste. Try this out!

Get a small bowl of frozen fruit - preferably berries, such as blueberries, raspberries, blackberries and strawberries. Defrost them in the microwave, then heat them a little past defrost they are lukewarm, or perhaps even hot (sort of like the temperature of a hot pie!).

Now mix the heated berries with the cold low fat cottage cheese. Be sure to get the juices mixed real well. Game changer! Don't get me wrong, it won't taste like a pie, but you get the sugar taste of the fruit, plus the fiber and nutrition, mixed with one of the best protein snacks available.

Not sure if this picture will tempt you or turn you away, but here was my morning protein snack today to aid my healthy living! Enjoy!
