This 3 ingredient cottage cheese toast is high in protein, low in carbs and super satisfying for a quick and easy breakfast.
Today’s recipe was shared a few weeks ago on my YouTube channel. It was such a hit with my YouTube fam that I realized this recipe needed to be shared in a visual, follow-able form on my blog.
I like this as a break-fast, but it can also be used as a lunch in a pinch.
Recipe Highlights
- It’s simple: The whole recipe only has 3 ingredients.
- It satisfies specific cravings: Sometimes the urge for a crispy slice of toast is REAL.
- It’s packed with protein: The whole recipe comes in at a little over 30 grams of complete protein.
- It takes minutes to prep: Literally as long as it takes to toast a piece of (paleo) bread.
Key Ingredients
Cottage Cheese
I personally go for the full-fat variety. Full fat dairy products have been found to be inversely associated with obesity.(1) This means that full fat dairy products could potentially protect from weight gain.
Full fat dairy products are also rich in an incredibly important vitamin called Vitamin K2. This is different from vitamin K1 (found in plants). Vitamin K2 helps promote heart and bone health by removing calcium from the arteries and putting it in the bones.
Low fat dairy products will contain significantly less vitamin K2.
Paleo Bread
When looking to achieve a weight loss goal, I typically opt for a paleo style bread made with mostly whole food ingredients. These tend to be more satiating and lead to less blood sugar spikes than traditional wheat based breads.
I like the brand Base Culture. They have a few types, but I recommend opting for the ones that are only found in the freezer aisle.
Equipment Needed
- Toaster
- Skillet or sauce pan
Ingredient Swaps
- Blueberry Chia Jam: Use fresh blueberries if you don’t have the blueberry chia jam prepped and you’re in a pinch.
- Paleo toast: Sub in whole wheat sourdough toast if you aren’t sensitive to gluten or carbs.
Storing and Reheating
This is definitely best eaten immediately. I would not recommend meal prepping this. However, you can meal prep the Blueberry Chia Jam portion.
