A nutrient-dense, protein-packed breakfast that combines the heart-healthy benefits of pistachios with the muscle-supporting power of slow-release protein.
1/2 cup Rolled Oats (Gluten-Free)
1/2 cup Cottage Cheese or Greek Yogurt
1/2 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
2 tbsp Shelled Pistachios (crushed)
1 tbsp Chia Seeds
1 tbsp Monk Fruit Sweetener
1/4 tsp Vanilla Extract
Optional: A drop of almond or pistachio extract
1. In a bowl or blender, mix the cottage cheese, almond milk, sweetener, and vanilla until smooth.
2. In a glass jar, combine the oats and chia seeds.
3. Pour the creamy mixture over the oats and stir well.
4. Fold in half of the crushed pistachios.
5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
6. Top with the remaining pistachios before serving.
Toast the pistachios lightly in a pan for 2 minutes before crushing to unlock a deeper, richer flavor profile.
