Cottage Cheese & Pineapple

This is the kind of snack you’ll make on repeat — cottage cheese and pineapple chunks, 2 minutes, big payoff. It is weeknight cooking that still hits your targets — 20 grams of protein per serving. No specialty equipment and nothing hard to find at a regular grocery store.

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup Cottage cheese
• 1/2 cup Pineapple chunks
• 1 tsp Chia seeds

Steps

1. Spoon 3/4 cup of cottage cheese into a bowl. Give it a stir first if liquid has pooled on top — that is just whey, and it is fine.
2. Drain 1/2 cup of pineapple chunks if they are canned, so the snack does not get watery.
3. Spoon the pineapple over the cottage cheese in an even layer.
4. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of chia seeds over the top.
5. Taste a bite: if your pineapple is tart, drizzle a tiny bit of honey to balance it.
6. Eat right away, or cover and refrigerate up to a day — the chia will thicken it slightly overnight.
