Matteo
A quick, nutritious, and satisfying breakfast that combines rolled oats with cottage cheese, milk, and optional flavorings. This recipe is naturally gluten-free and provides a high-protein start to your day without the need for protein powder.
- 1/2 cup certified gluten-free rolled oats
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese (low-fat or full-fat)
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy like almond or oat milk)
- 1-2 teaspoons natural sweetener (honey, agave nectar, or stevia)
- 1/2 teaspoon flavoring (cinnamon, cocoa powder, or almond essence) (optional)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
In a jar or container, combine the rolled oats and cottage cheese. If you prefer a smoother consistency, you can blend the cottage cheese first before adding it.
Pour in your chosen milk and any desired sweeteners or flavorings. Stir everything together until well combined.
Cover the container tightly and place it in the refrigerator for at least four hours, or preferably overnight.
In the morning, stir the mixture. Add any desired toppings like fresh fruit, nuts, or seeds before serving and enjoying.
