Notes
- You can whip the cottage cheese in or leave it as it is.
- Cottage cheese: Full-fat or low-fat are both ok.
- Pineapple: Canned pineapple, preferably unsweetened. If you use fresh pineapple, you should consume the mixture immediately. When you mix pineapple with dairy, a substance called bromelain breaks down the main protein in milk: casein. This process turns casein into smaller pieces, known as peptides, which can sometimes taste slightly bitter.
- Sweetener: You can replace honey with maple syrup, brown sugar, or another sweetener of choice.
