Cottage cheese is seeing something of a renaissance. 125g of cottage cheese contains 14 grams of protein and the fat content can help with blood sugar control, helping you to feel fuller for longer. You can add it to lasagna and scrambled eggs and I've seen more adventurous chefs incorporating it into high protein pancakes.
It's also a delicious snack on an oat cake - or straight out of the tub!
This super quick breakfast recipe only requires chopping the tomatoes and basil and will keep you going until lunch time.
