Fitness rice pudding with cottage cheese

Try this simple recipe for fitness rice pudding with cottage cheese. It tastes excellent, is juicy, fills well and provides a valuable dose of protein. If you're craving a sweet lunch, I recommend this recipe to all ten. The pudding is gluten-free and sugar-free.

For an additional increase in protein content, you can also add a scoop of protein powder to the recipe, ideally in vanilla or coconut flavor. If you don't have chia seeds at home, you can easily leave them out of the recipe, it won't change the consistency of the pudding.

For sweetening, you can also use an adequate amount of sweetener, or stevia or flavdrops. You will get 6 large portions from the listed ingredients. 1 serving contains around 345 kcal and 20 g of protein.

Ingredients

• 30 g of chia seeds
• 250 g of lumpy cottage cheese
• 200 g of low-fat spreadable cottage cheese
• 300 g cherries (pitted)
• 80 g xylitol (or other bulk sweetener)
• zest of 1 lemon
• 3 eggs
• 800 ml of coconut milk (or other)
• 200 g of rice

optional:

• strawberry-nut butter, freeze-dried fruit (for decoration)
• 1 scoop (30 g) of protein (vanilla or coconut flavor)

Approach

1. The pudding will firm up more after it has been in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours. At the end, we can decorate it with nut butter and freeze-dried fruit.
2. Transfer the rice mixture to a baking dish with dimensions of around 30 x 24 cm (I recommend spraying it with oil beforehand) and bake the pudding for 40-45 minutes at 170 degrees on the upper + lower heating program.
3. Beat the egg whites in a bowl until thick and then carefully mix them into the prepared rice.
4. Then mix xylitol, 3 egg yolks, pitted cherries, lemon peel, cottage cheese, seeds, and protein into the rice and mix well.
5. Pour milk over the rice and cook until soft for about 15 minutes.
