Yummy Low Carb Breakfast Pudding

 

This recipe has been around for a while!  But there’s a reason for that…it’s yummy and filling!

CJ’S BREAKFAST PUDDING

1/3 cup ricotta cheese (I use cottage cheese)
1 egg
3 Tbs. heavy cream
1 Tbs. flax meal
sugar free Maple syrup (I also add a packet of Stevia to sweeten)
Dash of cinnamon

Put first three  ingredients into a sauce pan and cook until thick, kinda like a cream of wheat consistency.  Stir in Stevia and flax meal.  Top with sugar free breakfast syrup and a pat of real butter if desired.   Serve warm.

Strawberry Smoothie

This past summer I got on a smoothie-making kick!

This is just one of the delicious, satisfying smoothies I made for breakfast.

Strawberry Smoothie

6-8 medium size frozen strawberries, partially thawed
1/3 cup low fat cottage cheese
1 tablespoon 2%  milk
4 -6 ice cubes
2 packets of Stevia or your sweetener of choice

Put all of the ingredients into a blender.  Place the lid on the blender and blend for 45 to 60 seconds, or until smooth.  Pour your smoothie into a glass and enjoy.  (Can add extra water while blending if necessary.)

Also, for added nutrition, I sometimes add fresh baby spinach.
