I'm 99% sure that prepping this breakfast the night before will make you excited for the next morning when you get to eat it!
This brekkie cheesecake packs a decent hit of protein, to help keep us satiated and energised for the morning, as well as some carbs, healthy fats and colour from the berries - ticking all the nutritional boxes. Oh, and it's DELICIOUS!
I've had this on repeat over the last while...Honestly, having something prepped has been a godsend both with fitting a decent brekkie in around the little man, as well as the odd morning I get some training in!
Serves 1
Ingredients
2-3 Weetbix (gluten free if required)
Around 1/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon maple syrup
1/4 cup cottage cheese*
1 heaped tablespoon chocolate protein powder*
1 teaspoon cocoa powder
Berries/sliced banana/fruit, nuts/nut butter to top
Method
Crush Weetbix and add them to a serving bowl.
Pour the milk and maple syrup onto the Weetbix and give a stir around - you want it to be a bit soggy but not swamped in liquid.
In a separate bowl, combine the cottage cheese, protein powder and cocoa - I sometimes add a little milk to this to loosen the mixture slightly.
Spread the cottage cheese mixture over the weetbix, cover and refrigerate for a couple of hours or overnight.
In the morning add your fruit and nuts to the top and high five last nights you for prepping yourself such a delicious meal to start your day!
Notes
I always use full fat cottage cheese - I prefer the texture and it just tastes better in my opinion!
Can sub cottage cheese for 1/2 cup Greek yoghurt.
You don't have to use chocolate flavour protein powder, any flavour would work - just don't add the cocoa.
Although not pictured (I was out of PB), I usually add a drizzle of peanut butter and some chopped nuts to the top for extra flavour, crunch and healthy fats.
I'd love to know if you tried this recipe out and what you thought!
