Cottage Cheese Bagels

A High-Protein, Easy-to-Make Recipe!

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup + 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour, more for dusting)

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1 cup cottage cheese

  • 1 egg

  • Everything bagel seasoning (or sesame seeds, poppy seeds, onion flakes)

Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl, combine the flour and baking powder, whisking well to ensure they are evenly mixed.

  2. Add the cottage cheese and stir with a spatula until incorporated, then use your hands to mix until a ball of dough forms. Knead the dough about 20 times. It should be slightly moist but not sticky.

  3. Cover the dough with a towel and let it rest for 10 minutes.

  4. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Once the dough has rested, transfer it to a clean surface, shape it into a log, and cut it into four even pieces.

  5. On a floured surface, roll each piece of dough into a rope and shape it into a bagel by pinching the ends together. Place each bagel on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  6. In a small bowl, whisk the egg and brush it over the bagels. Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning (or your choice of toppings) on top.

  7. Bake in the oven for 25 minutes, or until the bagels are golden brown and puffed up.

  8. Remove the bagels from the oven and let them rest for 15 minutes. Don’t skip this step – they need a little time to set and firm up.

  9. Slice, spread, and enjoy these delicious, protein-packed bagels!

Lazy Girl Pancake Bowl

The Easiest, Protein-Packed Breakfast!

Ingredients:

  • ½ cup Kodiak Pancake mix (can be regular or pumpkin, like I used in the video!)

  • 1 egg white

  • ½ cup Premier Protein (I love using cake batter flavor!)

Instructions:

  1. Mix everything together: In a bowl, combine the Kodiak pancake mix, egg white, and Premier Protein. Stir well until smooth. If the batter is too thick, add a little more Premier Protein to get your desired consistency.

  2. Microwave: Pop the bowl in the microwave and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the pancake has set.

  3. Top & Enjoy: Once your pancake is done, top it with Greek yogurt for extra protein, fresh berries, and sugar-free syrup. If you’re using the pumpkin mix, I love topping it with walnuts and sugar-free syrup for added flavor.
