Starting The day off right with cottage cheese

In my search for a healthy and nutritious vegetarian diet, I came across cottage cheese, 14 grams of protein per 1/2 cup, and only 90 calories. If that an't great I don't know what is. The next question is how am I going to turn that into a meal, let alone a breakfast, well I found the answer, just needed a bit of research, and a few ingredients.

Here is what I ended up with:


Ingredients needed:
1/2 cup Cottage cheese
1/2 cup Oatmeal
1 medium banana
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (you may add more if wanted)
1 teaspoon sugar (or honey)
1/4 cup vanilla almond milk (optional)

Cooking tools needed:
Medium pan (cast iron is the best)
knife
blender (if no blender look at alteration's)

You heat up the pan, and add the oatmeal (no water required), and stir the oatmeal around making sure it does not get burned. After the oatmeal has been sufficiently heated for around 1-2 min in the pan, you then add the cinnamon and sugar, and remove it from the heat. and place the oatmeal in a bowl.

Next you want slice the banana into small slices, so that can be easily blended.

Now you will put the cottage cheese along with the banana slices and almond milk into a blinder, blend until smooth.

Mix the content from the blender with the oatmeal and you will end up with a delicious and nutritious breakfast.

Alteration: If you don't have a blender, you can mix the cottage cheese with the almond milk in a small bowl, and add the banana slices and oatmeal.
