Cottage Cheese with Pineapple and Whole Grain Toast

Ingredients

• Low-fat cottage cheese 1.5 cups
• Pineapple chunks 1 cup
• Whole grain bread 2 slices
• Honey 1 teaspoon

Method

1. Prepare the pineapple. If using fresh pineapple, peel and core it first, then cut into small chunks about 1-inch pieces. If using canned pineapple chunks, drain the juice before measuring 1 cup.
   Tip: Fresh pineapple gives a more vibrant flavor, but canned pineapple in juice is a convenient alternative.
2. Toast the bread. Place the two slices of whole grain bread into a toaster and toast until golden brown and crisp. This usually takes about 3-5 minutes depending on your toaster settings.
   Tip: Toast the bread while preparing other ingredients to save time.
3. Combine cottage cheese and pineapple. In a medium bowl, gently mix the 1.5 cups of low-fat cottage cheese with the pineapple chunks. Stir carefully to combine without breaking up the pineapple too much.
   Tip: Use a spoon or spatula to fold the pineapple into the cottage cheese for even distribution.
4. Serve with honey drizzled toast. Place the toasted whole grain bread slices on plates. Drizzle about half a teaspoon of honey on each slice. Then, serve the cottage cheese and pineapple mixture alongside or on top of the toast as preferred.
   Tip: You can spread the cottage cheese mixture on the toast or enjoy it on the side.

Pro tips

• Use a sharp knife to cut pineapple safely and easily.
• If you prefer a sweeter dish, add a little more honey or sprinkle some cinnamon on top.
