Description

Budwig recipe cottage cheese is a quick no cook breakfast bowl made by blending low fat cottage cheese or quark with cold pressed flaxseed oil until smooth and creamy, then stirring in milled flaxseed. It takes about 5 minutes, yields 1 serving, and can be finished with honey, fruit, nuts, cinnamon, vanilla, or lemon juice.


Ingredients

3 dessert spoons cold pressed flaxseed oil

6 dessert spoons low fat cottage cheese or quark, under 2% fat

2 dessert spoons milled flaxseed

1 teaspoon raw unpasteurized honey, optional

Unsweetened applesauce, optional

Cinnamon, optional

Vanilla, optional

Lemon juice, optional

Chopped walnuts, optional

Chopped cashews, optional

Chopped almonds, optional

Pine nuts, optional

Rosehip puree, optional


Instructions

1. Let the low fat cottage cheese sit at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes.

2. Add the cottage cheese or quark and cold pressed flaxseed oil to a tall jar or small blending cup.

3. Blend with an immersion blender, hand blender, or small mixer until the mixture is completely smooth, creamy, and glossy with no visible oil separation.

4. Check that the mixture looks whipped and fully emulsified before moving on.

5. Stir in the milled flaxseed by hand.

6. Mix in the honey if using.

7. Add any optional toppings such as applesauce, cinnamon, vanilla, lemon juice, fruit, or chopped nuts after blending.

8. Adjust the thickness if needed with a very small amount of liquid or a little extra cottage cheese until creamy.

9. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use only low fat cottage cheese or quark with 1 to 2 percent fat. Higher fat versions do not emulsify properly with the oil.

Blend the flaxseed oil and cottage cheese first. Add milled flaxseed, honey, fruit, nuts, or spices only after the mixture is fully smooth.

Fresh cold pressed flaxseed oil is important. Keep it refrigerated and use it while fresh.

Do not heat the mixture because heat can damage the delicate fatty acids in flaxseed oil.

This recipe is best made fresh. If needed, store it in an airtight glass container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

Add toppings just before serving for the best texture and flavor.
