Low-fat Cottage Cheese with Pineapple and Chia Seeds

Ingredients

• Low-fat cottage cheese 1.6 cups
• Pineapple chunks 100 g
• Chia seeds 1 tbsp

Method

1. Measure the cottage cheese. Using a kitchen scale, measure approximately 384 grams (about 1.6 cups) of low-fat cottage cheese. This amount ensures the protein and calorie targets are met.
   Tip: If you don't have a scale, use a measuring cup and level it carefully.
2. Prepare the pineapple chunks. Measure 100 grams of pineapple chunks. If using canned pineapple, drain the juice to avoid extra liquid.
   Tip: Fresh pineapple adds a nice texture and flavor, but canned works well too.
3. Add chia seeds. Add 1 tablespoon (14 grams) of chia seeds to the cottage cheese and pineapple mixture. Chia seeds add fiber and healthy fats.
   Tip: Stir well to evenly distribute the chia seeds.
4. Mix ingredients. In a bowl, combine the cottage cheese, pineapple chunks, and chia seeds. Stir gently until all ingredients are evenly mixed.
   Tip: Mix gently to keep the pineapple chunks intact.
5. Serve immediately. Enjoy your nutritious low-fat cottage cheese with pineapple and chia seeds right away for the best texture and flavor.
   Tip: You can chill it in the fridge for 10-15 minutes if you prefer it cold.

Pro tips

• Use fresh pineapple for a more vibrant taste and texture.
• If you want a creamier texture, let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow chia seeds to absorb moisture.
