Cottage Cheese Spread with Cedar Nut Flakes
This is a great alternative to store-bought cottage cheese desserts loaded with sugar. The spread turns out to be filling, thick, and very creamy
Ingredients:
Soft cottage cheese (5%) — 150 g
Pine nut flakes — 2 tbsp
Honey or Jerusalem artichoke syrup — 1 tsp
A handful of berries (blueberries or raspberries) for serving.
Preparation:
Simply mix the cottage cheese with pine nut flakes and sweetener. Stir thoroughly with a spoon so that the nut meal is evenly distributed. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes—the nut meal will swell slightly, absorb moisture, and become softer. Garnish with fresh berries on top.
Vitamin-Packed Pine-Banana Smoothie
The perfect choice for those who are always in a rush in the morning. This drink serves as a complete meal replacement, provides energy, and keeps you feeling full for a long time.
Ingredients:
Ripe banana — 1
Plant-based or regular milk — 200 ml
Pine nut flakes — 2 tbsp
A pinch of cinnamon (optional).
Preparation:
Place all the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth and creamy. The pine nut flakes acts as a thickener in the smoothie and gives it a rich, nutty flavor. If you want to make the smoothie cooler, add a couple of ice cubes.
Yogurt with Pine Nut Flakes and Chia Seeds
The easiest way to turn plain natural yogurt into a real dessert.
Ingredients:
Plain Greek yogurt — 150 g
Pine nut flakes — 1 tbsp
Chia seeds — 1 tsp
A little grated dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher).
Preparation:
Spoon the yogurt into a bowl, then add the pine nut flakes and chia seeds. Stir and let sit for 15 minutes (the chia seeds should “expand”). Before serving, sprinkle grated chocolate on top. This is an unusual combination of textures—creamy yogurt, pine nut flakes, and the slight bitterness of chocolate.
It’s best to store pine nut flakes in a cool, dark place (or even better, in the refrigerator) so that the healthy fats it contains stay fresh longer. Add it to porridge, baked goods, and salads – it’s the easiest way to make your everyday meals much healthier!
