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