Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by dicing half an apple into small cubes, and toss with a dash of cinnamon in a bowl. Microwave 1 tbsp of peanut butter for about 10 seconds to soften, then drizzle over the apple mixture. Finish with 1 tbsp of raisins.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 2 eggs with a splash of water. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and pour in the egg mixture, stirring gently. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the eggs start to set but remain soft. Add 2 oz of cooked lean protein for the last minute to heat through.
  3. In a serving bowl, scoop in 0.5 cup of cottage cheese. Swirl 1 tsp of honey over the cottage cheese.
  4. Layer the scrambled eggs mixed with cooked protein on top of the cottage cheese. If using, add cheese slices now.
  5. Gently mix all layers together, and enjoy your Protein Power Breakfast Bowl right away.
