Q: What's the easiest high-protein breakfast with no cooking?
A: Cottage cheese + berries + Rabeko Zero Jam + cinnamon + crumbled David Bar. 5 ingredients, 0 cooking, 40g protein.
If you can spoon, you can make this breakfast. Cottage cheese is the highest-protein, lowest-fuss dairy in Canadian grocery stores — 14g protein per half cup, no prep, no mess. Rabeko Zero Jam is the sugar-free strawberry jam we stock (sweetened with maltitol/sucralose). Crumbled David Bar adds the crunch and another 28g protein.

Tips From the TNF Kitchen
- Use 1% or 2% cottage cheese — 0% gets chalky, 4% adds fat without benefit.
- Frozen berries work too (thaw 1 min in microwave).
- Sub Allmax Hexapro Bar for variety in the protein-bar crumble.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is cottage cheese a complete protein?
Yes — cottage cheese contains all essential amino acids and is exceptionally high in leucine, which triggers muscle protein synthesis.
Can I add a protein scoop instead of a bar?
Yes — stir 1 scoop of PEScience Select directly into the cottage cheese for a 'cheesecake mousse' alternative.
Is this good for late-night eating?
Yes — cottage cheese is high in casein (slow-digesting protein), ideal as a final meal before sleep.
