Why it’s good
Cottage cheese provides substantial protein, while peas and vegetables contribute fibre and volume.
Protein and fibre can promote fullness and support the body’s normal release of satiety hormones, including GLP-1.
Pumpkin seeds add healthy fats and magnesium, making this a balanced alternative to a carbohydrate-heavy breakfast.
